A retrospective case-note review was performed for neonates referred for airway assessment from 2004-2010 inclusive. Seventy-nine neonates were referred from throughout Scotland; 10 in 2004-2006, 24 in 2007-2008 and 45 in 2009-2010. The mean gestational age was 35 weeks; 39% were preterm. Stridor was the most common reason for referral (46%). The most common diagnosis was airway malacia (38%). Fifty-three procedures were performed on the ward. In total, 64 microlaryngobronchoscopies were performed; 45 diagnostic and 19 interventional. The most common intervention was supraglottoplasty for airway malacia. Thirty-five separate airway procedures were undertaken. Additional investigations were frequently requested and co-morbidities were common. Since the establishment of the Scottish National Complex Airway Service in 2006, referrals for neonatal airway assessment have increased significantly. The reasons for this include a greater awareness of the service, improved treatment options and increased preterm survival. These neonates frequently have associated co-morbidities and require a repertoire of specialist input. This increase has significant implications for further service provision. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/smj.2012.012113","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,8]],"date-time":"2012-11-08T12:04:13Z","timestamp":1352376253000},"page":"1-4","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact and workload implications on service provision with establishment of a neonatal complex airway service in Scotland"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"C L","family":"Harry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Trivers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H","family":"Kubba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ear, Nose and Throat Department, Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wa","family":"Clement","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ear, Nose and Throat Department, Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J H","family":"Simpson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-smj.2012.012113","unstructured":"National Service Designation in Scotland for Complex Airways in Children.
