🫁 Session Title
Pediatric Emergency Airways: CRIB to College
🔎 Why Pediatric Airway Management Needs Special Focus
Pediatric airway emergencies are rare but extremely high-stakes
Even experienced providers report higher anxiety and error risk
Children differ significantly from adults in:
Airway anatomy
Oxygen reserve
Physiologic response to hypoxia and medications
One size does not fit all—from newborns to adolescents
📚 What This Session Covers
Identifying early warning signs of a difficult pediatric airway
Review of national EMS data on pediatric airway outcomes
Key findings from malpractice claims highlighting preventable errors
Translating evidence into real-world, prehospital decision-making
🛠️ Evidence-Based Airway Techniques Highlighted
Optimizing preoxygenation in critically ill children
Choosing the right equipment for the right age and size
Practical use of:
Supraglottic airway devices
Video laryngoscopy
Bougie-assisted intubation
Safe pharmacologic induction strategies for hemodynamically unstable patients
⚠️ Common Pitfalls Addressed
Delayed airway decisions due to fear or inexperience
Inappropriate equipment sizing
Underestimating physiologic difficulty despite normal anatomy
Failure to prepare backup airway plans
🎯 Key Takeaways for Providers
Preparation beats improvisation in pediatric airway crises
Repeated simulation training improves real-time performance
Structured airway algorithms reduce complications
Confidence comes from practice, data, and teamwork
