https://doi.org/10.24884/2072-6716-2024-25-3-92-97

Abstract

Goal. To analyze the data of foreign and domestic periodical literature on the aspects of the appointment of glucocorticosteroids (GCs) in acute obstructive laryngitis (АOL) in childhood.

Materials and methods. 33 foreign and domestic sources on the studied problem were considered, including 15 sources over the past 5 years.

Results. According to different authors, the following are considered the mechanisms of action of GC drugs, this paper provides evidence of their therapeutic efficacy, justifying their use as treatment of choice in AOL of any severity grade, in the prehospital as well as hospital settings. The characteristics of a range of different GCs (dexamethasone, prednisolone, budesonide, beclometasone, fluticasone) administered through inhalation and other routes are compared in regard to their use in intensive treatment of AOL in pediatric  practice.

Conclusion. It is advisable to prescribe GCs for AOL in children. A better understanding of the particulars of use of GCs in children with AOL should improve the quality of intensive care in this pathology.
