Abstract Introduction: good management of pediatric airway in anesthesia requires anesthesiologists to understand early human anatomical development and a set of clinical skills to provide safe mask ventilation and tracheal intubation The airway changes in size, shape and position through its development from neonate to the adult, so knowing the functional (applied) anatomy of the airway is the cornerstone for understanding the pathological conditions that may occur The aim of the work: the aim of this essay is to identify the new principle aspects of anesthetic management of Pediatric Airway in difficult situations, that can be associated with better results regarding morbidity and mortality. Summary: Airway-Related problems are among the most common perioperative critical incidents in pediatric Anesthesia, and in infants younger than 1 year of age these are four times more common than in older children In several institutions, fiberoptic intubation of the trachea in children and infants with a difficult airway is performed under conscious sedation and maintenance of spontaneous ventilation, so it is used as the gold standard for difficult airway management |
