This week’s episode will be about a every important topic that we must deal with. The Airway. Currently, pediatric airway emergencies that require a secure and advanced airway range from 0.6 to 3.3 per 1,000 cases. The median age often varies by institution; however, the highest risk patients commonly are younger than 12 months old. Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is an airway management technique that induces immediate unresponsiveness (induction agent) and muscular relaxation (neuromuscular blocking agent) and is the fastest and most effective means of controlling the emergency airway. Complications in children occur mainly because of airway management-related events such as difficult approach, laryngospasm, bronchospasm and severe hypoxemia, which may result in cardiac arrest, neurological deficit or death. Have they ever been in a can’t ventilate, can’t intubate situation? Have the Transport Gods ever brought you back to reality? Remember kiddos If A doesn’t happen then B nor C can happen. That’s right boys and girls. We are going to discuss the management of the pediatric critical airway. We will then jump into some RSI knowledge and end the episode with some new approaches and treatments in the wonderful world of pediatric airways.
