A Primer for Pediatric Emergency Front-of-the-Neck Access

“Cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate” situations in healthy children are uncommon but are often associated with poor outcomes. Clinical assessment, anticipatory planning, and the use of algorithms can lessen the likelihood of untoward outcomes, but the common final pathway of many algorithms for a dif...

description “Cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate” situations in healthy children are uncommon but are often associated with poor outcomes. Clinical assessment, anticipatory planning, and the use of algorithms can lessen the likelihood of untoward outcomes, but the common final pathway of many algorithms for a difficult pediatric airway involves obtaining emergency tracheal access. The airway practitioner must have the know-how and training needed to invasively secure the airway when confronted with this rare but potentially devastating emergency. We provide practitioners with an overview of pediatric emergency front-of-the-neck access strategies and a structure for their management.
