Emergency Paediatric Tracheostomy Management Algorithm provides a structured approach for managing pediatric patients requiring tracheostomy in emergency situations. The algorithm outlines steps for assessing airway patency, performing suction, and changing the tracheostomy tube if necessary. It emphasizes safety measures, including oxygen administration and communication with the resuscitation team and ENT surgeon. The algorithm guides healthcare providers through interventions to ensure optimal airway management and patient safety.
