Summary

The effectiveness of endotracheal intubation in pre-hospital conditions is insufficient - especially in the context of pediatric patients. Anatomical differences in pediatric patients compared to adults: a relative larger tongue, a larger and more flabby epiglottis - located more cephalously - that make intubation is more difficult than for adults. Also, higher oxygen metabolism requires the immediate response of medical personnel to children in case of need to protect the airways and support breath.
