Clinical Trial Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted anesthesia care all over the world. There remains very little data on current practice patterns and patient outcomes, particularly in anesthetized children. This is a prospective observational, multi-center study to investigate airway management related outcomes in children undergoing anesthesia during this pandemic. The investigators will compare the incidence of complications (particularly hypoxemia) in patients with COVID-19 to those who are COVID-19 negative during airway management.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	airway complications	incidence of complications (particularly hypoxemia) in patients with COVID-19 to those who are COVID-19 negative during airway management	throughout duration of anesthetic
Secondary	airway device	type of device inserted for airway control	throughout duration of anesthetic
Secondary	PPE	the type of PPE used by anesthetists and assistants during airway management	throughout duration of anesthetic
Secondary	First pass success	compare the first attempt success rate of tracheal intubation in patients with the disease to those without the disease	during induction and intubation
Secondary	induction techniques	variability in practice for induction of anesthesia	during induction of anesthesia
Secondary	failed intubation	determine the Incidence of failed intubation	during induction of anesthesia
Secondary	complication risk factors	determine risk factors related to complications (PPE type, Location, Age, Baseline Saturation, Induction technique, clinician type)	during anesthetic management
