Abstract
This paper addresses the specific challenges involved in the intensive treatment of acute obstructive laryngitis (OL) in young children by reviewing current literature, including both domestic and international publications. The analysis reveals that healthcare systems worldwide have significant experience in employing diverse pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment approaches for this condition. According to the literature, the most effective treatments for OL in children are glucocorticoids and inhaled adrenaline, while there is no evidence supporting the use of oxygen therapy. The paper outlines the main routes of administration, considerations for dose selection, and potential side effects of the medications most frequently used in pediatric practice for OL. A comprehensive understanding of the specific aspects of intensive therapy in this medical emergency can significantly enhance the quality of care provided to pediatric patients.
