Emergency endotracheal intubation is a high risk procedure in acutely unwell children and is commonly jointly managed by paediatricians and anaesthetists. This article aims to develop a shared understanding of the practicalities and language around the risk factors for difficult intubation and management of failed intubation, including the approach to situations where you cannot intubate and or cannot ventilate, to improve communication and team working between these dynamic interdisciplinary teams.


This chapter focuses on a case that reviews factors associated with the use mask ventilation (MV), addressing the question: What are the incidence and predictors of difficult and impossible MV and how do they compare with final airway outcomes? This study was the first to document the incidence and predictors of impossible MV. The cases of impossible MV resulted in previous tracheotomy locations. Risk factors included obesity and sleep apnea, which were also risk factors for difficulty with intubation This and subsequent studies have demonstrated that the overwhelming majority of cases of difficult or impossible MV and difficult intubation are eventually successfully intubated.
