Abstract
Expertise in neonatal airway management requires an understanding of early human anatomical development as well as set of clinical skills to provide safe mask ventilation and tracheal intubation in the extremely small-sized population of patients. Although problematic management of the pediatric airway including difficulties with mask ventilation or unsuccessful endotracheal intubation remains rare, it is one of the primary causes of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Airway management is key component in various clinical scenarios, including the operating room during the provision of anesthetic care, in the pediatric intensive care unit, in the emergency department or during resuscitative efforts. This article is divided into three sections, anatomy and fisiology of the neonatal upper airway. Standard neonatal airway management and algorithms for managing the anatomically abnormal neonatal airway.
