Brief Summary

Difficulty in airway management is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in anaesthetic

practice. The ability to identify patients at risk of difficult tracheal intubation is important

especially in patients with apparently normal airways. Difficult laryngoscopy (poor glottis

visualization) is considered a surrogate indicator of difficult intubation. Preoperative

assessment of various anatomic and clinical features helps in identifying potentially difficult

laryngoscopy.
