About

Failure in airway management is one of the most common anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Each individual airway assessment has limitation to predict difficult intubation.

Full description

Objective: To develop a scoring model from multiple airway assessment to predict difficult intubation.

Methods: This will be a retrospective analytic study. All airway assessment data from medical records of patients aged more than 18 years old underwent general anesthesia in Srinagarind hospital from January 2012 to December 2014 will be used to develop a new scoring prediction model.

Enrollment: 7,500 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Adult patients undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation

Exclusion criteria

• Incomplete airway assessment in medical record

Patient with difficult intubation

Description:

Group 1: Patient undergoing endotracheal intubation with difficult intubation Group 2: Patient undergoing endotracheal intubation without difficult intubation

Treatment:

Procedure: Endotracheal intubation
