A paediatric airway is not a smaller adult airway. Position early with a shoulder roll if the occiput flexes the neck, suction before landmarks disappear, pre-oxygenate aggressively, and plan a smaller tube and backup strategy before repeated attempts worsen oedema.
High-yield teaching needs restraint. A five-minute clinical lesson should deliver one usable framework, pearl or bias check that changes the next shift; once filler outruns action, polished education stops being practical.
