Abstract

Airway management is one of the fundamental skills of any anaesthetist. Considerable anatomical changes occur between birth and adulthood during the development of the paediatric airway. Knowledge of these changes will influence airway planning during childhood. Airway obstruction complicates airway management and any anaesthetist working with children should be able to assess the airway for the presence of obstruction and generate a differential diagnosis of cause. This article aims to summarize key anatomical features of the paediatric airway, common causes of airway obstruction in children and provide suggestions for how to manage these patients.

儿童急性和慢性气道阻塞

气道管理是麻醉师的基本技能之一。在儿童气道的发育过程中，从出生到成年期间会发生巨大的解剖学变化。对这些变化的了解将影响儿童期的气道规划。气道阻塞会使气道管理复杂化，任何从事儿童麻醉工作的麻醉师都应能够评估气道是否存在阻塞，并对阻塞原因进行鉴别诊断。本文旨在总结儿童气道的主要解剖特征、儿童气道阻塞的常见原因，并就如何管理这些患者提出建议。
