Abstract:
The differences between a child's airway and an adult's, dictate differences in anaesthetic management techniques. Techniques and principles to assist in this management are reviewed in this article. Paediatric specificities of airway devices and other materials required for endotracheal intubation are described. In addition, recent development of equipment and current trends in management of paediatric airway are discussed.
