Approach to the Paediatric Difficult Airway in a High- Versus Low Resource Setting – A Comparison of Algorithms and Difficult-Airway Trolleys (2019) Dr Agathe Streiff

Description

This tutorial compares the management algorithms and necessary equipment (difficult-airway trolleys) for handling the paediatric difficult airway across high-resource and low-resource medical settings. It discusses the limitations of existing paediatric-specific guidelines, the economic factors determining equipment availability, and the critical need for resource-appropriate institutional protocols and designated equipment to manage both anticipated and unanticipated difficult airways.
