The I.C.U. treatment of acute laryngotracheobronchitis in a developing country

R Dansky et al. Intensive Care Med. 1978 Jan.

Abstract

The management of 50 children with acute laryngotracheobronchitis (LTB) in a general I.C.U. in a developing country is presented. The overall mortality was 16%, with no patient demising from LTB. It is stressed that LTB in developing countries is a very different disorder to that seen in Western societies, due to complicating factors such as bronchopneumonia, malnutrition and measles. Guidelines for therapy are proposed.
