Summary
The management of the paediatric airway has its own challenges compared to the adult airway. New tools have become available in managing airways during diagnostic tests and/or procedures. It is prudent for the paediatric provider to understand what the state-of-theart is in regards to handling the airways in children and what strategies exist to address emergent issues that arise. The aim of this review was to discuss state-of-the-art paediatric airway management. The management of the paediatric airway is typically straightforward, but, not infrequently, will require considerable knowledge and experience in dealing with children who are in severe respiratory distress or haemodynamically unstable. Recent investigations of the n eonatal intensive care and paediatric intensive care settings underscore the challenges This review provides the reader with the latest evidence on state-of-the-art paediatric airway management
