Summary
Key Learning Points
1. The anatomy and physiology of young children make them particularly vulnerable to respiratory failure.
2. Children who need intubating for upper airway obstruction require input from doctors competent in the management of the paediatric airway.
3. Respiratory failure is the most common indication for admission to the paediatric intensive care unit.
4. The principles of lung-protective ventilation apply in children.
5. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation is an effective rescue modality in children.
