abstract: In summary, if the problem is volume shock, stop the loss and replace the fluid without overloading. IV fluids may be necessary to maintain perfusion pressure and administer medications. Pediatric airway anatomy requires different techniques and equipment for proper management, but all airway management starts with basic life support skills.
