Intubation
Intubation may be needed in severe angioedema when swelling affects the tongue, throat, or voice box and makes it hard to breathe. Because the swelling can get worse quickly, doctors often choose to place a breathing tube early before the airway closes completely. It can be difficult because of the swelling, so the most experienced provider usually performs it, often using special cameras or scopes. If the tube cannot be placed, an emergency cut in the neck (cricothyrotomy or tracheostomy) may be needed to help the person breathe. The main goal is to protect the airway as soon as possible.
