01/01/2015 - "If applied in a timely manner, intravenous or nebulized corticosteroids can prevent postextubation laryngeal edema; however, the inability to identify high-risk patients prevents the targeted pretreatment of these patients. "

09/01/2005 - "However, the severity of the reaction, the time of onset after administration of antigen before the occurrence of symptoms of the primary response, the presence of hypotension or laryngeal edema during the primary response, and the history of a previous biphasic reaction have all been mentioned as risk factors in various studies. "
03/01/2008 - "However, reports propose potential risk factors, including initial phase severity, delayed or suboptimal doses of epinephrine during initial treatment, laryngeal edema or hypotension during initial phase, delayed symptomatic onset after antigen exposure, or history of biphasic anaphylaxis. "
