Surgical Airway in Children

Most of us know how to perform a surgical airway in adults, and the basic principles are the same in children.

The Royal Children's Hospital has an excellent airway manual here, with instructions on how to perform a surgical airway in children. Uptodate has a step to step guide.

There are lots of different methods of performing a surgical airway. Chose a method you are familiar with, and that you have the kit for in your hospital.
