Difficult airway consultation service for children: steps to implement and preliminary results.
The article demonstrates how to implement a consultative service focusing on difficult airway (DAW) identification, management and education. The initial 3-month experience confirmed that a majority of pediatric DAW events are associated with congenital or acquired abnormalities. Through appropriate consultation and leadership, the Difficult Airway Service was able to physically and electronically identify pediatric patients with a DAW and provide management.

Understanding safety in prehospital emergency medical services for children.
This paper adds to the qualitative understanding of the nature of and contributors to safety events in the prehospital emergency care of children. The findings of this study suggest that factors at the systems, team, child/family, and individual provider level system contribute to errors in prehospital emergency care. These factors may be modifiable through interventions and systems improvements.
