“…Routine intubation of small children for elective surgery was introduced rather late in pediatric anesthesia compared with the first intubations in adults around 1895. In the 1930s intubation of small children was considered to be too dangerous because of frequently observed injuries, but with the specialization of anesthesiology (G. Jackson Rees, M. Digby Leigh) in the 1940s tracheal intubation became more and more accepted by pediatric surgeons (1).…”

SummaryIatrogenic damage to the pediatric airway occurs rather often. Most injuries will heal without any sequelae because larynx and trachea of children tolerate considerable trauma. However, sometimes the injury is penetrating the mucosa and scar formation can lead to an obstruction of the airway which is followed by a tracheostomy and long term surgery. A great problem is the early detection of trauma since noisy breathing develops often late when scar formation has occluded more than 50% of the airway. A selection of photo documents of airway endoscopy out of more than 5000 photos from the years 1987-2007 were used to explain the development of injuries from minor lesions to large areas of necrosis of the mucosa of larynx and trachea of infants and children. The visualization of airway lesions might help to prevent iatrogenic damage.

“…Since its inception as a subspecialty, pediatric anesthesiology has adapted to innovations in patient care and ever-increasing clinical complexity. 1 The specialty of pediatric anesthesiology is a driver for the safe and quality perioperative care of children across the perioperative continuum. Pediatric anesthesiologists have supported the evolution of surgery for many complex conditions including congenital heart disease (CHD), 2 congenital airway malformations, and neurogenic scoliosis repairs.…”
