Supraglottitis is an acute airway emergency requiring prompt medical intervention. Ten cases of epiglottitis treated at San Pablo Hospital are reviewed retrospectively. The controversies regarding this diagnosis are discussed. Due to a wide range of opinions concerning the proper management and treatment of epiglottitis, and the need of a standardized protocol, a simple and flexible protocol to be used by all physicians is proposed.
