Welcome

I struggled to find PEM resources for my CT3 year, despite the variety of excellent resources out there. I hope this website will help point you in the right direction. I'm not a PEM expert, but am following the guidance CEM have issued (in the form of a syllabus) to put together this page. This page is not endorsed by CEM, and any mistakes are mine.

Please comment with corrections, additions and further suggestions.

All the information here is collected from the internet, and it might be out of date or inaccurate, so please use your judgement and adhere to your hospital's protocols. If you do notice any errors or omissions please comment so we can put them right!

To navigate, decide whether you want to start with a PMP or a PAP. You can then select which PMP or PAP you want to look at. You will then be taken to the summary page for that PMP, with links expanded topic collections. If you know what topic you want to look at already, click on the link on the right hand side.

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.
