Endotracheal Intubation of Infants and Children

HAROLD T. DAVENPORT M.B., F.F.A.R.C.S.1 and JOSE K. ROSALES M.D.1

1 Department of Anaesthesia of The Montreal Children's Hospital and McGill University, Montreal, Canada

Some significant anatomical and anaesthetic problems associated with direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in infants and children are considered.

Our practice of using endotracheal intubation for the majority of patients whom the Department of Anaesthesia is asked to treat in the Montreal Children's Hospital leads us to the conclusion that careful methods will ensure that it is a simple practice which adds to the safety of our management. The difficulties encountered are different but no more frequent than in other age groups, and our attempts to deal with some of these difficulties have been described.

Note:

Presented at the Annual Meeting, Canadian Anaesthetists' Society, June 23–25, 1958.
