  • Title: Supraglottic airway devices for pediatric airway management in the emergency department.
    Author: Sanders JE, Spina LA.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Med Pract; 2020 Oct; 17(10):1-20. PubMed ID: 33001595.
    Abstract:
    Endotracheal intubation can be difficult in the emergent situation, and it is important to have an appropriate backup strategy. Supraglottic airway devices have provided an alternative method for pediatric airway management that is relatively easy to learn, with a high success rate. This issue reviews the use of supraglottic airway devices in pediatric patients including common devices, indications and techniques for placement, and complications associated with their use. The use of supraglottic airway devices in the patient with a difficult airway is also discussed.
