Pediatric Airway Anatomy
Narrowest part of airway is Cricoid Cartilage (vs V.C.)
Epiglottis and Tongue are relatively large
Larynx is Higher and Anteriorly tilted
Obligate Nasal Breathers until 6 mo

laryngeal view when introducing a tracheal tube orother instruments. When open the blade forms an85-degree angle with the handle. It is our experiencethat for trainees and other inexperienced intubatorsthis together with the ease of view encourages thegentle indirect lift of the epiglottis rather than thetemptation to use a levering and potentially moreforceful action as may be the case when using aconventional straight or curved blade. Figures 2, 3and 4.
The McCoy laryngoscope was developed in theearly 1990s to help with difficult intubation in adult
patients (28). Lately a pediatric version of the McCoylaryngoscope, based on the Seward straight blade,has become available. It has been designed to conferthe advantages of the straight blade in aligning thevarious axes in the infant airway whilst allowingthe epiglottis to be lifted with the blade tip in thevallecula. It is suggested that that this should allow aview comparable to that of a straight blade (25).
The two more commonly used intubation aids arethe gum-elastic bougie and the malleable stylet. Thebougie has been used for difficult intubation via theorotracheal and nasotracheal route (29,30). The useof such intubation aids is not free of complicationboth with respect to the equipment used and thepotential for trauma (31,32). Latto et al. found thatalthough the gum-elastic bougie is commonly used,

Respiratory Physiology
Vt = 6-8 ml/kg same as adults
Increased VO2: 6-8 mL/kg/min vs 4-6
Increased Minute Ventilation via RR
FRC :: adults but the higher MV/ FRC results in faster desaturation

Respiratory Physiology 2
Increased Chest wall compliance = less recoil
Higher Closing Capacity = desat if FRC falls
Decreased TLC: flat diaphragm, horizontal ribs (<5y)
Airway resistance ˆ4th power. Actual diameters are larger :: adults but any decrease will have more effect
“Economy of Breathing”

Indications
Impaired CNS
Obstruction
Increased Work of Breathing
Hypoxia

Corey E Collins, D.O.Monday, May 23, 2011
Endotracheal Tubes: SizePasses easily through V.C. Into subglottis
Leak < 20 cm H2O
16 + age/ 4
Have 0.5 mm larger and smaller

Endotracheal Tubes: Cuff?Reintubation 23% vs 1.2%
Cuff Pressure?
Mucosal Injury?
Aspiration?
Bottom line: safe, smaller, low pressure
