| Abstrakt: | Purpose of Review: This contemporary review aims to outline the key components and protocols for assessing emergency readiness in institutional pediatric airway management. Emphasis is placed on identifying essential elements that ensure preparedness and effective response in pediatric airway emergencies within healthcare institutions. Recent Findings: Recent studies highlight several critical components of pediatric airway emergency readiness: dedicated pediatric airway teams, availability of specialized pediatric airway equipment, and simulation-based training to enhance the skills of healthcare providers. Additionally, interdisciplinary team coordination and regular drills have been shown to improve readiness and outcomes in pediatric airway emergencies. Summary: Effective emergency readiness in pediatric airway management requires a multifaceted approach. Key components include availability of appropriate and accessible equipment, adherence to standardized protocols, and ongoing education and training. Regular simulation exercises and interprofessional collaboration are essential for maintaining high levels of preparedness. Implementing these strategies can significantly improve the quality of care and patient outcomes in pediatric airway emergencies. Level of Evidence: Level 3.
