Abstract: A difficult airway is a life-threatening clinical situation in which a trained anesthesiologist experiences difficulty ventilating the upper airway with a tight mask, difficulty intubation the trachea, or both. This is an important socio-economic problem that makes a significant contribution to the structure of intraoperative mortality and disability of patients.
