Pediatric Airway Equipment

Dangerous Equipment

  • 0 Straight blade is too short for term and older infants, only for preemies.
  • #1 Curved blade is inappropriate for infants, straight blade much better
  • 250 cc BVM, for newborns only
  • Cuffed ETs below size 5.5 Occasionally useful for asthmatics, but should not be in emergency airway carts
  • Large handle, too bulky for peds

Use cuffed tubes (Br J Anaesth 2009;103(6):867)

 

Dalal PG, Murray D, Messner AH, Feng A, McAllister J, Molter D. Pediatric laryngeal dimensions: an age-based analysis. Anesth Analg. 2009;108:(5)1475-9. PMID: 19372324

These authors measured the cross sectional area of the airways of 153 children (6months to 13 years) using video bronchoscopy under general anesthesia, and they found that it is the glottis not the cricoid that is the narrowest portion of the airway.
