Description

Respiratory difficulties in children have been the most often encountered and life-threatening illness in daily practice.<br>Regardless of the cause, prompt, correct, and efficient therapeutic measures must be undertaken considering their anatomical, physiological, and functional characteristics.<br>The severity of respiratory difficulties in children can be made by using Downe's UAO-scoring system.<br>Although an adequate oxygenation is the prime importance in treating these children, however, establishment of good tracheal airway including tracheostomy, removal of secretions, and appropriate means of ventilation etc. is mandatory.<br>These measures have to be well executed since any infant or child in these situation has to be closely observed under the circumstances as things happen a lot faster than one would expect.
