Abstract
To describe a specialty pediatric airway emergency cart developed as a multi-institutional quality improvement initiative for difficult pediatric intubations. This study was a retrospective case series at two academic tertiary care centers. Baseline data was compiled from consecutive difficult airway cases from 2018 to 2020 and presented to the performance improvement coordinating group to determine whether a specialty emergency airway cart would be of use.Implementation of a pediatric emergency airway cart was accomplished after presentation of these cases. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the use of a specialty pediatric airway cart to help in difficult airways requiring otolaryngologic assistance.
