AB There  are  significant  physiologic,  anatomic,  and  equipment  differences  between  children  and  adults  that  must  be  considered  when  planning  the  approach  to  the  emergent  pediatric  airway.  The  presentation  of  a  critically  ill  child  requiring  intubation  is  relatively  uncommon  compared  to  adults.1,2,3  This  chapter  presents  the  physiologic  and  anatomic  characteristics  of  the  pediatric  airway,  strategies  for  effective  airway  management,  and  organization  methods  for  equipment  to  minimize  errors  in  equipment  sizing  and  medication  dose  calculation.4
