Key points

The BAPM framework for managing the difficult neonatal airway provides: definition of the role and responsibilities of the neonatal airway lead; a process to optimise resources available in any setting in which a neonate with a difficult airway may present; a pathway for managing the difficult airway to be adapted for local use, which will also be familiar to other specialties that have their own established difficult airway processes; a resource materials document to assist those developing a structured process.
