Pediatric airway management
Nasser Mohamed and Ezzat Elshahat Mohameda
Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, UAE
A
irway management is an important skill for all medical staff to practice, particularly within difficult
scenarios. To address this, we will create this workshop of airway management for introducing advanced
airway techniques to all medical staff (physician, residents nurses and fellows) Emergency airwaymanagement
is associated with a high complication rate. Evaluating the patient prior to airway management is important to
identify patients with increased risk of failed airways pediatric airway management should be systematic and
well planned. This workshop will describe the steps in appropriate airway management these steps include
clinical assessment, preparation of equipment and staff, and a progression through a series of interventions.
A good foundation of basic skills, such as understanding of pediatric airway-anatomy, head positioning, and
correct bag-valve-mask or Bag-mask Ventilation (BVM), are necessary for appropriate airway management.
The majority of patients requiring Endotracheal Intubation (ETI) can be successfully intubated with Rapid
Sequence Intubation (RSI). A difficult airway may occasionally be encountered and the medical staff must
have alternative methods for the support of ventilation and oxygenation if RSI failed Video laryngoscopes
are claimed to improve airway management. Several studies showed an equal or better glottic view using the
Glidescope compared with direct laryngoscopy in adults and in paediatric patients. Many case reports also
described successful intubation in patients with a difficult airway.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this educational workshop, participants will be able to apply a thorough understanding
and practical knowledge of the basics of airway assessment in your clinical practice recognizes the signs of
potentially difficult intubation and airway management. Develop a plan for dealing with a known difficult
airway. Discuss indications for various airway management devices. Develop effective management strategies
to deal with challenging airway scenarios. Demonstrate working knowledge and practice of a variety of airway
management devices (oropharyngeal tube - Nasopharyngeal tune - Laryngeal mask airway -Endo tracheal
tube - Ambu bag - video laryngoscop)
