Apart from routine questions about difficult airways and tracheostomy, this section has also absorbed some questions about anaphylaxis and angioedema. Paediatric airway questions have been distributed into the paeds section, as they all tend to ask the exact same thing ("what is so different about the children?"). Questions regarding endotracheal tubes and other airway devices have been deflected to the Equipment and Procedures section.
