physiologic and anatomic airway and respiratory should be considered a
similarities and differences quality management difficult airway”
between children and should include both
adults” quantitative (objective) “Maintaining bag-valve
and qualitative (subjective) mask ventilation skill will
“EMS clinicians should use measures of provider save lives”
age-appropriate performance”
assessment and therapeutic “Pediatric advanced
approaches” “Regional and national airway management
pediatric-specific should be reserved for
benchmarks should be select EMS agencies”
