Severe upper airway obstruction

Severe upper airway obstruction

H Kilham et al. Pediatr Clin North Am. 1987 Feb.

Abstract

This article describes management of newborn and older children with severe upper airway obstruction, that is, those needing or likely to need airway support for their intact survival. These children have more to gain from optimal care, and more to lose from any error than most other children requiring admission to a pediatric intensive care unit.
