Epiglottitis NCLEX Review | Winning Wednesday
Epiglottitis is an inflammation of the epiglottis, which is a small flap of tissue at the base of the tongue that covers the windpipe during swallowing to prevent food from entering the airway. This condition can cause severe respiratory distress and is most commonly caused by a bacterial infection, particularly Haemophilus influenzae type B.
In this video, we will cover the signs and symptoms of Epiglottitis. We will also discuss the importance of early recognition and intervention, as well as the nursing care and management of patients with Epiglottitis.
Whether you are a nursing student or preparing for the NCLEX, this video will provide you with valuable information to help you understand and recognize Epiglottitis in a clinical setting.
