Summary

A traumatized airway can be challenging and requires timely intervention. Improper management can result in high mortality and morbidity, especially in the younger age group. Airway injuries in children occur as a result of direct injury to the airway, or indirect, as in anaphylaxis. Direct injury to the airway can be the result of penetrating or blunt trauma to the upper torso (head, neck, and chest).
