title: History of pediatric airway management.
abstract: The history of pediatric airway management is inseparable from the history of medicine in general. Advancing medical technology and improved childhood survival gave impetus for pioneering physicians with a vision for the future to branch out and develop the specialty of pediatric otolaryngology. Institutions and organizations committed to research, uncompromised care, and training have provided a firm foundation for the future growth and development of the specialty.
