Will occur more rapidly in children secondary to a diminished respiratory reserve
Signs of an airway obstruction and treatment
ANSWER = choking, gagging, suprasternal notch retraction, labored breathing and rapid pulse initially
followed by decreased pulse, respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest
TX:
1. 100% O2
2. Trendelenburg position/pack off the surgical site
3. Digital traction of the tongue with gauze, tongue forceps, hemostat or tongue suture
4. Suction oropharynx
If the tongue continues to fall back
5. nasopharyngeal airway in conscious/semiconscous patient
6. oropharyngeal airway for unconscous
7. Consider using LMA or other supraglottic airway
,8. Endotracheal tube
Cricothyrotomy

In children, atropine should be administered concomitantly with succinylcholine to prevent bradycardia
and life threatening dysrhythmias
May cause cessation of breathing
Bronchospasm. WHAT? TX?
ANSWER = Contraction of the smooth muscles of the small bronchi and bronchioles. Restriction of air to
and from the lungs. More difficult expiration than inspiration. Exhibits labored breathing, expiration
difficulty and signs of a diminishing respiratory status. Wheezing and often show labored breathing.
Cyanosis or decreased ventilation patterns on the capnograph
