【 摘 要 】

‘Anesthesia is nothing, but airway management’ or ‘Anesthesia is nothing without airway management’, perhaps both are true. Airway anatomy and physiology in infants and small children differs markedly from the adults, and so are the problems associated with it. We have to adopt protocols, methods and techniques, specifically for this population. This special article is an overview of the current trends with a special reference to the future perspective in infant and pediatric airway management.
