The International Symposium
on the Pediatric Airway has been held approximately every four years since 1987. It has attracted participants
from the US, Canada, Europe and South America and has become one of the premier venues for an interdisciplinary exchange of
information and new ideas about the airway of infants and children. The ISPA was founded by Dr. Lawrence Borland of The Children’s
Hospital of Pittsburgh, and for its first five sessions was held primarily at that location. For 2011, the ISPA was hosted
by Children's Hospital Colorado (formerly Denver Children's) at its new hospital and conference center on the Anshultz
medical Campus of the University of Colorado.
The conference is targeted to clinicians of all specialties and disciplines concerned with managing the airway
of the pediatric patient, and will be of particular interest to anesthesiologists, otolaryngologists, critical care specialists,
pediatric surgeons, pulmonologists, pediatric radiologists and neonatologists. We look forward to welcoming you to Colorado
this coming spring!
The ISPA meeting was held 17 June 2011 and end 19
June 2011 in the afternoon. There was lectures, abstract presentations, and airway workshops
throughout the weekend meeting. Program and lecture handouts have been published. The ISPA thanks you for your interest
and encourages you to check back as we plan for ISPA7, to be held in 2013. If you would like to be put on our mailing
list please contact Valerie.Cassidy@childrenscolorado.org.
