    Summary

    Advances in neonatal care improve survival for premature infants, but airway complications like subglottic edema are common. This review aids clinicians in managing newborn respiratory distress and airway issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Otolaryngology
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Improved neonatal care increases survival rates for very low birth weight and premature infants.
    • These high-risk newborns often present complex management challenges, particularly concerning airway issues.
    • Respiratory distress is a common problem, frequently complicated by subglottic edema or stenosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review relevant respiratory physiology for managing neonatal airway problems.
    • To provide a framework for decision-making in airway maintenance and respiratory care for neonates.
    • To present methods for differential diagnosis and therapeutic choices in suspected upper airway obstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of respiratory physiology pertinent to neonatal airway management.
    • Enumeration of assessment parameters for airway obstruction.
    • Presentation of therapeutic alternatives and a diagnostic paradigm.

    Main Results:

    • Understanding respiratory physiology is crucial for effective airway management in neonates.
    • Systematic assessment and a structured approach aid in choosing appropriate therapies.
    • A diagnostic paradigm can assist in differentiating causes of upper airway obstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of neonatal airway problems requires consideration of multiple factors.
    • Otolaryngology consultation is vital when upper airway obstruction is suspected.
    • This review offers guidance for optimizing respiratory care and airway maintenance in high-risk newborns.
