Summary

When children become critically ill or suffer trauma, they are usually brought to their local hospital, where local teams are responsible for assessment, initial management and stabilisation of the sick child. Tracheal intubation is carried out, in the majority of cases, by local teams, rarely comprising paediatric specialist anaesthetists.
