Abstract
- A difficult airway is a clinical situation in which a skilled anesthesia professional encounters difficulty with facemask ventilation, endotracheal intubation, or both.1 Adverse events associated with a difficult airway include damage to dentition, airway trauma, unnecessary surgical airway, brain injury, cardiopulmonary collapse, and death.1 To avoid these adverse events, a preoperative history and physical exam should be conducted to determine the safest and least invasive airway management technique. This case report describes the measures used in preparation for an awake fiberoptic intubation when a difficult airway was identified preoperatively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
