Basics of Pediatric Airway Anatomy, Physiology and Management Christine Mai, MD Claudine Mansour, MD Faculty Advisor: Ruth Padilla, MD Boston University Medical Center Department of Anesthesiology
The Pediatric Airway • Introduction • Normal Anatomy • Physiology • Airway evaluation • Management of normal vs. abnormal airway • Difficult airway
Introduction • Almost all of pediatric codes are due to respiratory origin • 80% of pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest are primarily due to respiratory distress • Majority of cardiopulmonary arrest occur at <1 year old • 1990 Closed Claim Project by ASA • Respiratory events are the largest class of injury (34%) • More common in children than adults • 92% of claims occurred between 1975-1985 before continuous pulsoximetry and capnography (Brain damage and death in 85% of cases) • With continuous O2sat and ETCO2monitoring after 1990s, decrease in brain damage and death (56% 1970s to 31% 1990s)
Normal Pediatric Airway Anatomy • Larynx composed of hyoid bone and a series of cartilages • Single: thyroid, cricoid, epiglottis • Paired: arytenoids, corniculates, and cuneiform
Pediatric Anatomy cont. Laryngeal folds consist of: • Paired aryepiglottic folds extend from epiglottis posteriorly to superior surface of arytenoids • Paired vestibular folds (false vocal cords) extend from thyroid cartilage posteriorly to superior surface of arytenoids • Paired vocal folds (true vocal cords) extend from posterior surface of thyroid plate to anterior part of arytenoids • Interarytenoid fold bridging the arytenoid cartilages • Thyrohyoid fold extend from hyoid bone to thyroid cartilage Sensory Innervation: Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve-supraglottic larynx Internal Branch of Superior Laryngeal Nerve-infraglottic larynx Motor Innervation: External branch of Superior Laryngeal Nerve-cricothyroid muscle Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve-all other laryngeal muscles Blood Supply Laryngeal branches of the superior and inferior thyroid arteries
5 Differences between Pediatric and Adult Airway • More rostral larynx • Relatively larger tongue • Angled vocal cords • Differently shaped epiglottis • Funneled shaped larynx-narrowest part of pediatric airway is cricoid cartilage
More rostral pediatric larynx Laryngeal apparatus develops from brachial clefts and descends caudally Infant’s larynx is higher in neck (C2-3) compared to adult’s (C4-5)
Relatively larger tongue • Obstructs airway • Obligate nasal breathers • Difficult to visualize larynx • Straight laryngoscope blade completely elevates the epiglottis, preferred for pediatric laryngoscopy Angled vocal cords • Infant’s vocal cords have more angled attachment to trachea, whereas adult vocal cords are more perpendicular • Difficulty in nasal intubations where “blindly” placed ETT may easily lodge in anterior commissure rather than in trachea Image from: http://www.utmb.edu/otoref/Grnds/Pedi-airway-2001-01/Pedi- airway-2001-01-slides.pdf
Differently shaped epiglottis • Adult epiglottis broader, axis parallel to trachea • Infant epiglottis ohmega (Ώ) shaped and angled away from axis of trachea • More difficult to lift an infant’s epiglottis with laryngoscope blade
Funneled shape larynx • narrowest part of infant’s larynx is the undeveloped cricoid cartilage, whereas in the adult it is the glottis opening (vocal cord) • Tight fitting ETT may cause edema and trouble upon extubation • Uncuffed ETT preferred for patients < 8 years old • Fully developed cricoid cartilage occurs at 10-12 years of age Image from: http://www.hadassah.org.il/NR/rdonlyres/59B531BD- EECC-4FOE-9E81- INFANTADULT
Pediatric Respiratory Physiology • Extrauterine life not possible until 24-25 weeks of gestation • Two types of pulmonary epithelial cells: Type I and Type II pneumocytes • Type I pneumocytes are flat and form tight junctions that interconnect the interstitium • Type II pneumocytes are more numerous, resistant to oxygen toxicity, and are capable of cell division to produce Type I pneumocytes • Pulmonary surfactant produced by Type II pneumocytes at 24 wks GA • Sufficient pulmonary surfactant present after 35 wks GA • Premature infants prone to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) because of insufficient surfactant • Betamethasone can be given to pregnant mothers at 24-35wks GA to accelerate fetal surfactant production
Pediatric Respiratory Physiology cont. • Work of breathing for each kilogram of body weight is similar in infants and adult • Oxygen consumption of infant (6 ml/kg/min) is twice that of an adult (3 ml/kg/min) • Greater oxygen consumption = increased respiratory rate • Tidal volume is relatively fixed due to anatomic structure • Minute alveolar ventilation is more dependent on increased respiratory rate than on tidal volume • Lack Type I muscle fibers, fatigue more easily • FRC of an awake infant is similar to an adult when normalized to body weight • Ratio of alveolar minute ventilation to FRC is doubled, under circumstances of hypoxia, apnea or under anesthesia, the infant’s FRC is diminished and desaturation occurs more precipitously

• URI predisposes to coughing, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, desat during anesthesia • Snoring or noisy breathing (adenoidal hypertrophy, upper airway obstruction, OSA) • Chronic cough (subglottic stenosis, previous tracheoesohageal fistula repair) • Productive cough (bronchitis, pneumonia) • Sudden onset of new cough (foreign body aspiration) • Inspiratory stridor (macroglossia, laryngeal web, laryngomalacia, extrathoracic foreign body) • Hoarse voice (laryngitis, vocal cord palsy, papillomatosis) • Asthma and bronchodilator therapy (bronchospasm) • Repeated pneumonias (GERD, CF, bronchiectasis, tracheoesophageal fistula, immune suppression, congenital heart disease) • History of foreign body aspiration • Previous anesthetic problems (difficulty intubation/extubation or difficulty with mask ventilation) • Atopy, allergy (increased airway reactivity) • History of congenital syndrome (Pierre Robin Sequence, Treacher Collins, Klippel-Feil, Down’s Syndrome, Choanal atresia) • Environmental: smokers Airway Evaluation Medical History
Signs of Impending Respiratory Failure • Increase work of breathing • Tachypnea/tachycardia • Nasal flaring • Drooling • Grunting • Wheezing • Stridor • Head bobbing • Use of accessory muscles/retraction of muscles • Cyanosis despite O2 • Irregular breathing/apnea • Altered consciousness/agitation • Inability to lie down • Diaphoresis
Airway Evaluation Physical Exam • Facial expression • Nasal flaring • Mouth breathing • Drooling • Color of mucous membranes • Retraction of suprasternal, intercostal or subcostal • Respiratory rate • Voice change • Mouth opening • Size of mouth • Mallampati • Loose/missing teeth • Size and configuration of palate • Size and configuration of mandible • Location of larynx • Presence of stridor (inspiratory/expiratory) • Baseline O2 saturation • Global appearance (congenital anomalies) • Body habitus
Diagnostic Testing • Laboratory and radiographic evaluation extremely helpful with pathologic airway • AP and lateral films and fluoroscopy may show site and cause of upper airway obstruction • MRI/CT more reliable for evaluating neck masses, congenital anomalies of the lower airway and vascular system • Perform radiograph exam only when there is no immediate threat to the child’s safety and in the presence of skilled personnel with appropriate equipment to manage the airway • Intubation must not be postponed to obtain radiographic diagnosis when the patient is severely compromised. • Blood gases are helpful in assessing the degree of physiologic compromise; however, performing an arterial puncture on a stressed child may aggravate the underlying airway obstruction
Airway Management: Normal Airway • Challenging because of unique anatomy and physiology • Goals: protect the airway, adequately ventilate, and adequately oxygenate • Failure to perform any ONE of these tasks will result in respiratory failure • Positioning is key!
Bag-Mask Ventilation •Clear, plastic mask with inflatable rim provides atraumatic seal •Proper area for mask application-bridge of nose extend to chin •Maintain airway pressures <20 cm H2O •Place fingers on mandible to avoid compressing pharyngeal space •Hand on ventilating bag at all times to monitor effectiveness of spontaneous breaths •Continous postitive pressure when needed to maintain airway patency Image from: http://www.hadassah.org.il/NR/rdonlyres/59B531BD-EECC-4FOE-9E81-

Selection of laryngoscope blade: Miller vs. Macintosh • Miller blade is preferred for infants and younger children • Facilitates lifting of the epiglottis and exposing the glottic opening • Care must be taken to avoid using the blade as a fulcrum with pressure on the teeth and gums • Macintosh blades are generally used in older children • Blade size dependent on body mass of the patient and the preference of the anesthesiologist

Complications of Endotracheal Intubation • Postintubation Croup • Incidence 0.1-1% • Risk factors: large ETT, change in patient position introp, patient position other than supine, multiple attempts at intubation, traumatic intubation, pts ages 1-4, surgery >1hr, coughing on ETT, URI, h/o croup • Tx: humidified mist, nebulized racemic epinephrine, steroid • Laryngotracheal (Subglottic) Stenosis • Occurs in 90% of prolonged endotracheal intubation • Lower incidence in preterm infants and neonates due to relative immaturity of cricoid cartilage • Pathogenesis: ischemic injury secondary to lateral wall pressure from ETT edema, necrosis, and ulceration of mucosa, infx • Granulation tissues form within 48hrs leads to scarring and stenosis
Cuff vs Uncuffed Endotracheal Tube • Controversial issue • Traditionally, uncuffed ETT recommended in children < 8 yrs old to avoid post-extubation stridor and subglottic stenosis • Arguments against cuffed ETT: smaller size increases airway resistance, increase work of breathing, poorly designed for pediatric pts, need to keep cuff pressure < 25 cm H2O • Arguments against uncuffed ETT: more tube changes for long-term intubation, leak of anesthetic agent into environment, require more fresh gas flow > 2L/min, higher risk for aspiration -Concluding Recommendations- • For “short” cases when ETT size >4.0, choice of cuff vs uncuffed probably does not matter • Cuffed ETT preferable in cases of: high risk of aspiration (ie. Bowel obstruction), low lung compliance (ie. ARDS, pneumoperitoneum, CO2 insufflation of the thorax, CABG), precise control of ventilation and pCO2 (ie. increased intracranial pressure, single ventricle physiology) Golden, S. “Cuffed vs. Uncuffed Endotracheal tubes in children: A review” Society for Pediatric Anesthesia. Winter 2005 edition.
Laryngeal Mask Airway • Supraglottic airway device developed by Dr. Archie Brain • Flexible bronchoscopy, radiotherapy, radiologic procedures, urologic, orthopedic, ENT and ophthalmologic cases are most common pediatric indications for LMA • Useful in difficult airway situations, and as a conduit of drug administration (ie. Surfactant) • Different types of LMAs: Classic LMA, Flexible LMA, ProSeal LMA, Intubating LMA • Disadvantages: Laryngospasm, aspiration LMA size Weight Max cuff volume (mL) ETT (mID) 1 .0 Neonate/Infants ≤ 5kg 4 3.5 1.5 Infants 5-10kg 7 4.0 2.0 Infants/children 10-20kg 10 4.5 2.5 Children 20-30kg 14 5.0 3.0 Children/small adult > 30kg 20 6.0 cuff 4.0 Normal/large adolescent/adult 30 7.0 cuff 5.0 Large adolescent/adult 40 8.0 cuff

    Basics of PediatricAirway Anatomy, Physiology and Management Christine Mai, MD Claudine Mansour, MD Faculty Advisor: Ruth Padilla, MD Boston University Medical Center Department of Anesthesiology
  • 2.
    The Pediatric Airway •Introduction • Normal Anatomy • Physiology • Airway evaluation • Management of normal vs. abnormal airway • Difficult airway
  • 3.
    Introduction • Almost allof pediatric codes are due to respiratory origin • 80% of pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest are primarily due to respiratory distress • Majority of cardiopulmonary arrest occur at <1 year old • 1990 Closed Claim Project by ASA • Respiratory events are the largest class of injury (34%) • More common in children than adults • 92% of claims occurred between 1975-1985 before continuous pulsoximetry and capnography (Brain damage and death in 85% of cases) • With continuous O2sat and ETCO2monitoring after 1990s, decrease in brain damage and death (56% 1970s to 31% 1990s)
  • 4.
    Normal Pediatric AirwayAnatomy • Larynx composed of hyoid bone and a series of cartilages • Single: thyroid, cricoid, epiglottis • Paired: arytenoids, corniculates, and cuneiform
  • 5.
    Pediatric Anatomy cont. Laryngealfolds consist of: • Paired aryepiglottic folds extend from epiglottis posteriorly to superior surface of arytenoids • Paired vestibular folds (false vocal cords) extend from thyroid cartilage posteriorly to superior surface of arytenoids • Paired vocal folds (true vocal cords) extend from posterior surface of thyroid plate to anterior part of arytenoids • Interarytenoid fold bridging the arytenoid cartilages • Thyrohyoid fold extend from hyoid bone to thyroid cartilage Sensory Innervation: Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve-supraglottic larynx Internal Branch of Superior Laryngeal Nerve-infraglottic larynx Motor Innervation: External branch of Superior Laryngeal Nerve-cricothyroid muscle Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve-all other laryngeal muscles Blood Supply Laryngeal branches of the superior and inferior thyroid arteries
  • 6.
    5 Differences betweenPediatric and Adult Airway • More rostral larynx • Relatively larger tongue • Angled vocal cords • Differently shaped epiglottis • Funneled shaped larynx-narrowest part of pediatric airway is cricoid cartilage
  • 7.
    More rostral pediatriclarynx Laryngeal apparatus develops from brachial clefts and descends caudally Infant’s larynx is higher in neck (C2-3) compared to adult’s (C4-5)
  • 8.
    Relatively larger tongue •Obstructs airway • Obligate nasal breathers • Difficult to visualize larynx • Straight laryngoscope blade completely elevates the epiglottis, preferred for pediatric laryngoscopy Angled vocal cords • Infant’s vocal cords have more angled attachment to trachea, whereas adult vocal cords are more perpendicular • Difficulty in nasal intubations where “blindly” placed ETT may easily lodge in anterior commissure rather than in trachea Image from: http://www.utmb.edu/otoref/Grnds/Pedi-airway-2001-01/Pedi- airway-2001-01-slides.pdf
  • 9.
    Differently shaped epiglottis •Adult epiglottis broader, axis parallel to trachea • Infant epiglottis ohmega (Ώ) shaped and angled away from axis of trachea • More difficult to lift an infant’s epiglottis with laryngoscope blade
  • 10.
    Funneled shape larynx •narrowest part of infant’s larynx is the undeveloped cricoid cartilage, whereas in the adult it is the glottis opening (vocal cord) • Tight fitting ETT may cause edema and trouble upon extubation • Uncuffed ETT preferred for patients < 8 years old • Fully developed cricoid cartilage occurs at 10-12 years of age Image from: http://www.hadassah.org.il/NR/rdonlyres/59B531BD- EECC-4FOE-9E81- INFANTADULT
  • 11.
    Pediatric Respiratory Physiology •Extrauterine life not possible until 24-25 weeks of gestation • Two types of pulmonary epithelial cells: Type I and Type II pneumocytes • Type I pneumocytes are flat and form tight junctions that interconnect the interstitium • Type II pneumocytes are more numerous, resistant to oxygen toxicity, and are capable of cell division to produce Type I pneumocytes • Pulmonary surfactant produced by Type II pneumocytes at 24 wks GA • Sufficient pulmonary surfactant present after 35 wks GA • Premature infants prone to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) because of insufficient surfactant • Betamethasone can be given to pregnant mothers at 24-35wks GA to accelerate fetal surfactant production
  • 12.
    Pediatric Respiratory Physiologycont. • Work of breathing for each kilogram of body weight is similar in infants and adult • Oxygen consumption of infant (6 ml/kg/min) is twice that of an adult (3 ml/kg/min) • Greater oxygen consumption = increased respiratory rate • Tidal volume is relatively fixed due to anatomic structure • Minute alveolar ventilation is more dependent on increased respiratory rate than on tidal volume • Lack Type I muscle fibers, fatigue more easily • FRC of an awake infant is similar to an adult when normalized to body weight • Ratio of alveolar minute ventilation to FRC is doubled, under circumstances of hypoxia, apnea or under anesthesia, the infant’s FRC is diminished and desaturation occurs more precipitously

    • URI predisposesto coughing, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, desat during anesthesia • Snoring or noisy breathing (adenoidal hypertrophy, upper airway obstruction, OSA) • Chronic cough (subglottic stenosis, previous tracheoesohageal fistula repair) • Productive cough (bronchitis, pneumonia) • Sudden onset of new cough (foreign body aspiration) • Inspiratory stridor (macroglossia, laryngeal web, laryngomalacia, extrathoracic foreign body) • Hoarse voice (laryngitis, vocal cord palsy, papillomatosis) • Asthma and bronchodilator therapy (bronchospasm) • Repeated pneumonias (GERD, CF, bronchiectasis, tracheoesophageal fistula, immune suppression, congenital heart disease) • History of foreign body aspiration • Previous anesthetic problems (difficulty intubation/extubation or difficulty with mask ventilation) • Atopy, allergy (increased airway reactivity) • History of congenital syndrome (Pierre Robin Sequence, Treacher Collins, Klippel-Feil, Down’s Syndrome, Choanal atresia) • Environmental: smokers Airway Evaluation Medical History
  • 17.
    Signs of ImpendingRespiratory Failure • Increase work of breathing • Tachypnea/tachycardia • Nasal flaring • Drooling • Grunting • Wheezing • Stridor • Head bobbing • Use of accessory muscles/retraction of muscles • Cyanosis despite O2 • Irregular breathing/apnea • Altered consciousness/agitation • Inability to lie down • Diaphoresis
  • 18.
    Airway Evaluation Physical Exam •Facial expression • Nasal flaring • Mouth breathing • Drooling • Color of mucous membranes • Retraction of suprasternal, intercostal or subcostal • Respiratory rate • Voice change • Mouth opening • Size of mouth • Mallampati • Loose/missing teeth • Size and configuration of palate • Size and configuration of mandible • Location of larynx • Presence of stridor (inspiratory/expiratory) • Baseline O2 saturation • Global appearance (congenital anomalies) • Body habitus
  • 19.
    Diagnostic Testing • Laboratoryand radiographic evaluation extremely helpful with pathologic airway • AP and lateral films and fluoroscopy may show site and cause of upper airway obstruction • MRI/CT more reliable for evaluating neck masses, congenital anomalies of the lower airway and vascular system • Perform radiograph exam only when there is no immediate threat to the child’s safety and in the presence of skilled personnel with appropriate equipment to manage the airway • Intubation must not be postponed to obtain radiographic diagnosis when the patient is severely compromised. • Blood gases are helpful in assessing the degree of physiologic compromise; however, performing an arterial puncture on a stressed child may aggravate the underlying airway obstruction
  • 20.
    Airway Management: NormalAirway • Challenging because of unique anatomy and physiology • Goals: protect the airway, adequately ventilate, and adequately oxygenate • Failure to perform any ONE of these tasks will result in respiratory failure • Positioning is key!
  • 21.
    Bag-Mask Ventilation •Clear, plasticmask with inflatable rim provides atraumatic seal •Proper area for mask application-bridge of nose extend to chin •Maintain airway pressures <20 cm H2O •Place fingers on mandible to avoid compressing pharyngeal space •Hand on ventilating bag at all times to monitor effectiveness of spontaneous breaths •Continous postitive pressure when needed to maintain airway patency Image from: http://www.hadassah.org.il/NR/rdonlyres/59B531BD-EECC-4FOE-9E81-

  • 28.
    Complications of EndotrachealIntubation • Postintubation Croup • Incidence 0.1-1% • Risk factors: large ETT, change in patient position introp, patient position other than supine, multiple attempts at intubation, traumatic intubation, pts ages 1-4, surgery >1hr, coughing on ETT, URI, h/o croup • Tx: humidified mist, nebulized racemic epinephrine, steroid • Laryngotracheal (Subglottic) Stenosis • Occurs in 90% of prolonged endotracheal intubation • Lower incidence in preterm infants and neonates due to relative immaturity of cricoid cartilage • Pathogenesis: ischemic injury secondary to lateral wall pressure from ETT edema, necrosis, and ulceration of mucosa, infx • Granulation tissues form within 48hrs leads to scarring and stenosis
  • 29.
    Cuff vs UncuffedEndotracheal Tube • Controversial issue • Traditionally, uncuffed ETT recommended in children < 8 yrs old to avoid post-extubation stridor and subglottic stenosis • Arguments against cuffed ETT: smaller size increases airway resistance, increase work of breathing, poorly designed for pediatric pts, need to keep cuff pressure < 25 cm H2O • Arguments against uncuffed ETT: more tube changes for long-term intubation, leak of anesthetic agent into environment, require more fresh gas flow > 2L/min, higher risk for aspiration -Concluding Recommendations- • For “short” cases when ETT size >4.0, choice of cuff vs uncuffed probably does not matter • Cuffed ETT preferable in cases of: high risk of aspiration (ie. Bowel obstruction), low lung compliance (ie. ARDS, pneumoperitoneum, CO2 insufflation of the thorax, CABG), precise control of ventilation and pCO2 (ie. increased intracranial pressure, single ventricle physiology) Golden, S. “Cuffed vs. Uncuffed Endotracheal tubes in children: A review” Society for Pediatric Anesthesia.
