Pediatric Airway Management
Few calls produce more anxiety for the EMS professional than the appropriate management of the pediatric airway. We must be confident in our knowledge of the airway along with airway management tools and their use. In this course, we will review the anatomy of the pediatric airway, devices to use in managing the pediatric airway, and the use of pulse oximetry and capnography. We will also look at endotracheal intubation, an advanced airway management technique.
