Pediatric Airway Management

Pediatric airway management refers to techniques used by healthcare professionals to ensure that a child's airway is clear and open, allowing them to breathe properly. Children have smaller, more delicate airways compared to adults, making it crucial to use specialized methods and tools. This process includes assessing the child's breathing, positioning them correctly, and sometimes using devices like masks or tubes to keep the airway open. Effective management is essential in emergencies or during surgeries to prevent breathing difficulties and ensure the child's safety and well-being.
