title: The management of medical emergencies in otolaryngology.
abstract: We have tried to present the clinically relevant medical problems that otolaryngologists may face and to suggest management plans. Emergencies are divided by specific problems into general chemical, metabolic, and surgical categories. Space limitation allows only discussion of the most important problems but will hopefully stimulate interest in the remainder.
