Difficult airway management, National Neonatal Network guideline
GGC Paediatric Guidelines
Warning
The aim of this guideline is to help neonatal teams in Scotland apply the BAPM Framework for Practice: Managing the Difficult Airway in the Neonate locally and establish clear referral pathways in the event of a neonatal difficult airway.
1. Every centre caring for the neonate in Scotland should have an approach to management of the difficult airway.
2. This should be in line with the BAPM Framework for Practice: Managing the Difficult Airway in the Neonate.
3. Every centre should have a designated Airway Lead who is responsible for ensuring effective implementation of the Framework in their centre.
