The Neonatal Airway
Safe and effective management of the neonatal airway requires knowledge, teamwork, preparation and experience. At baseline, the neonatal airway can present significant challenges to experienced neonatologists and paediatric anaesthesiologists, and increased difficulty can be due to anatomical abnormalities, physiological instability or increased situational stress. Neonatal airway obstruction is under recognised, and should be considered an emergency until the diagnosis and physiological implications are understood.
