Perioperative airway management for pediatric anesthesia / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Due to the characteristics of anatomy and physiology,children might experience more risk of respiratory complications than adults.We provided some skills and strategies for the three stages of anesthesia including preoperative assessment,anesthesia induction and maintenance and post-anesthesia recovery to optimize the perioperative airway management of pediatric anesthesia.Preoperative airway evaluations,anesthesia induction methods and corresponding airway management modalities,the common airway adverse events and their prevention and treatment were described in detail.
