Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Respiratory adverse events continue to be the leading reason for perioperative critical events in children. New developments in airway management in paediatric patients can only improve perioperative outcome if anaesthesiologists who are fully acquainted with these fundamental aspects of paediatric anaesthesia care for these children.
This survey was taken out within members of the Community of European Anaesthesiologists, to describe and explore current patterns of their airway management in paediatric anaesthesia.
The purpose of the study was to see whether there are more uniform practice patterns among anaesthesiologist with paediatric experience than those without paediatric experience.
Secondarily, the survey also explored anaesthetists'' knowledge about the risks of respiratory adverse events and, and about national organizations' recommendations.
Therefore, this survey highlighted some of the important anatomical and physiological differences and their implication in daily anaesthesiological practice.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Expert
Anaesthesiologist with large paediatric daily practice. All participant voluntarily response all items in the questionnaire database.
Voluntarily response all items in the questionnaire.
The study type is a cross-sectional study, by means of electronic self-administered survey as online questionnaire sent by e-mail.
The questionnaire for the survey was developed with reference to previously published guidelines on the design of questionnaire surveys. The content validity of the questionnaire was verified by review of clinicians not participating into the project and by a statistician.
Non-experts
Anaesthesiologist with little paediatric daily practice. All participant voluntarily response all items in the questionnaire database.
Voluntarily response all items in the questionnaire.
The study type is a cross-sectional study, by means of electronic self-administered survey as online questionnaire sent by e-mail.
The questionnaire for the survey was developed with reference to previously published guidelines on the design of questionnaire surveys. The content validity of the questionnaire was verified by review of clinicians not participating into the project and by a statistician.
