Anatomic considerations in children
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Prominent occiput? Small mouth opening
? Large tongue, tonsils and adenoids
? Superior laryngeal position
? Weaker hyoepiglottic ligament
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Large, floppy epiglottis? Shorter trachea
? Anatomic subglottic narrowing
PHYSIOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Age-related high respiratory rate? Periodic breathing and Apnoea
? Preferential nasal breathing
? Smaller tidal volumes relative to body size (6 to 8 mL/kg)
? Lower functional residual capacity
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Higher oxygen metabolism: (6 versus 3 mL/kg/min)? Prone to respiratory fatigue: lower percentage of type 1 muscle
