Ludwig's angina.
Ludwig's angina is a serious, often fatal infectious disease process that requires prompt intervention of life-saving therapies. The critical care nurses caring for a patient with Ludwig's angina must be able to recognize subtle changes in the patient's status and intervene quickly to prevent death by airway edema or profound sepsis.
