Pediatric Airway Issues: What You Need to Know

Airway emergencies in young children are rare but high-risk. Dr. Anna DePompolo of Mayo Clinic shares how tools like the Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT) can help trauma teams quickly identify respiratory distress and intervene before it's too late.

A few takeaways:
✅ Respiratory issues are a leading cause of pediatric cardiac arrest
✅ Minor nasal congestion can lead to serious complications in infants
✅ Positioning, suctioning, and humidified oxygen delivery are often first-line treatments
✅ Repeated practice with bag-valve masks and supraglottic airways builds confidence

As Dr. DePompolo says, “If two or more sides of the PAT are affected, the child needs urgent help.”
