LDCC Basic EMT 2019

Corey has to go into NR and approve for you to take the test. She just got your grades Friday. Also, if you get your ATT now, you will not have the option to test at home. NR is dragging a little behind, think about all the people trying to test right now!

Your final written exam is today. As of right now only 4 people have signed up on Fisdap. If you are not signed for today, I will not call you and you will miss this opportunity.

Epiglottitis is inflammation of the epiglottis. The epiglottis is located in the upper airway and is a little flap that covers the trachea during swallowing. If this "flap" becomes inflamed, it swells and this swelling could cause a partial or even complete airway occlusion. The inflammation may involve other structures such as the arytenoid, false cords and the posterior tongue. Epiglottitis affects children 2-5 years of age; however, the median age has been steadily increasing over the past decade and may be seen in children of all ages.

The associated inflammation common with epiglottitis presents acutely in these otherwise healthy children. Epiglottic inflammation occurs quickly and can be deadly if not recognized and dealt with rapidly. A serious fever above 104 F (40C) often accompanies the illness and can be dangerous if the patient isn't treated promptly.

These children will often be found sitting on the edge of their chair leaning forward and using accessory muscles in an attempt to help move air in and out of their lungs more effectively. Many children with epiglottitis will complain of a severe sore throat especially when they swallow. It is common to witness excessive salivation in children experiencing a sore throat and/or difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). A cough is usually not associated with epiglottitis, mainly due to upper airway component of the illness.
