Mohamed Medhat Mohamed Hashem;
Abstract
irway-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. (Tay ,2001)
A difficult airway in anesthesia is defined as the clinical situation in which a conventionally trained anesthesiologist experiences difficulties with facemask ventilation, tracheal intubation, or both (American Society of Anesthesiologists 2003)
There are several important differences between the pediatric upper airway and the adult upper airway. These differences are most dramatic in the infant upper airway and become less significant as the child grows and matures. Understanding the differences between the normal infant airway and the normal adult airway is the first step toward managing the infant and pediatric airway with skill and confidence (wheeler, 2001)
Assessment of the airway should be conducted, whenever feasible, prior to the initiation of anesthetic care and airway management in all patients (Sunder, 2012)
Perioperative respiratory complications still remain one of the main causes of pediatric perioperative morbidity and are the second most common cause of perioperative
