Airway obstruction induced by angiotensin-converting enzymes inhibitors.

Air Medical Journal · 2001-01-01 · Case report

Abstract

The air medical transport of patients with potential or actual airway problems is commonplace. Airway obstruction from angioedema, however, is seldom seen and can be life-threatening if not managed correctly. This case outlines airway compromise from angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and discusses its subsequent management.
