11. • EExxtteerrnnaallllyy
– Larger head/occiput
– Head flexes forward and can obstruct
• IInntteerrnnaallllyy
– Intra-oral tongue
– Large, floppy epiglottis
12. • Further differences
– “Pinker” vocal cords worsen visualization
– Different location of narrowest point
• Peds cuffed tubes?
– Smaller cricothyroid membrane
• No surgical crics in children
13. Other Considerations
•More gastric insufflation with BVM
•Quicker desats during intubation Different
• 10 kg will drop to 90% in <4 minutes (vs. 8 for adult)
•Vagal response (not significant)
• Consider Pre-treatment with Atropine
(though not literature supported and not the standard of care)
47. 3 Emergent Indications
for Intubation
• Can’t Protect Airway
• Can’t Maintain Ventilation / Oxygenation
• Expected Decline in Clinical Status
48. Can’t Protect Airway
Gag reflex is absent in up to 37% of population, and
is a poor predictor of airway protection
•Can they talk?
•Can they swallow and manage secretions?
49. Can’t Maintain Ventilation
or Oxygenation
• SaO2 <90% on High Flow O2 or PaO2<60 on FiO2>40%
• PaCO2 >55 if baseline is normal, or >10 increase from
baseline
• Respiratory Rate
50. Expected Decline
in Clinical Status
• Deterioration/Impending Compromise Transport
• Airway protection during procedures
(ie. endoscopy)
52. DDEEFFIINNIITTIIOONNSS
Delayed Sequence Intubation (DSI)
DSI consists of the administration of
specific sedative agents, which do not
blunt spontaneous ventilations or airway
reflexes; followed by a period of
preoxygenation before the
administration of a paralytic agent.

140. Inspiratory Plateau Pressure _________________________________________________
Peak
Plateau Pressure Plateau
< 30 cmH2O
Must find and hold Inspiratory Hold button
Ventilator will then display Plateau Pressure
