3. Recognize presentation and manage croup in the pediatric population
3. Recognition of and management of pediatric asthma
4. Recognize and treatment of bronchiolitis in the pediatric population
Introduction
? Infants and young kids have small airways compared to adults ? Can quickly develop clinically significant airway obstruction ? Acute airway obstruction- whatever the etiology- can be life
threatening ? Complete obstruction will lead to respiratory failure progress to
cardiac arrest in minutes ? Prompt recognition and management of airway compromise is
critical to good outcome
Pathophysiology
? Small caliber of airway makes it vulnerable for occlusion
? Exponential rise in airway resistance and WOB with any process that narrows airway
? Infant is nasal breather- any obstruction of nasopharynx significantly increases WOB
? Large tongue can occlude airway especially increased ICP loss muscle tone due to decreased GCS
? Cricoid ring is narrowest part upper airway- often site occlusion in FB
