00:00 So, in review, the pediatric and adult airways differ anatomically and physiologically. 00:06 The airway diameter can be easily compromised in pediatric patients. 00:11 The upper airway anatomy can put children at increased risk for respiratory compromise. 00:16 Due to an immature system, and large organs, infants compensate by increasing their respiratory rate in the setting of respiratory distress. 00:23 Surfactant can be administered to premature babies to help expand the alveoli and prevent atelectasis. 00:29 It's important to understand these differences to successfully manage a pediatric patient with a respiratory condition. 00:35 Thank you for watching this lecture on the differences between the pediatric and adult respiratory systems.
