Pediatric front of neck access (the surgical tracheotomy)
Case It is the scenario of nightmares: a young child with an airway obstruction. They came in with stridor, and although you were initially thinking severe croup, the story doesn’t quite fit, there is no response to medical therapy, and this patient is incredibly sick. There is significant hypoxemia despite a nonrebreather. You can’t wait for backup, so you proceed rapidly to RSI.

I made this video on infant intubation but it’s apparent that it contains essential tips for ANYONE using direct laryngoscopy or standard geometry videolaryngoscopy regardless of whether it’s on adults or paeds

After all, adults are just grown up infants, amiright?
