• Describe necessary precautions during aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) to avoid transmission of infectious particles to providers
• Compare the anatomical and physiologic differences between adult and pediatric airways
• Recognize a general approach to pediatric airway emergencies, including the difficult airway
• Describe clinical features, diagnosis, and management of upper and lower airway obstruction and diseases of the lung
