Difficult airway
A clinical situation in which a
conventionally trained
anaesthesiologist experiences
difficulty with face mask ventilation,
tracheal intubation or both.
Difficult face mask ventilation
It is not possible for the anesthesiologist to
provide adequate face mask ventilation
due to :
inadequate mask seal
excessive gas leak or
excessive resistance to the ingress or
egress of gas.
Signs of inadequate face mask ventilation include:
Absent or inadequate chest movement / breath
sounds
Auscultatory signs of severe obstruction
Gastric air entry or dilatation
Decreasing or inadequate SpO2
Absent or inadequate exhaled CO2 and
Haemodynamic changes associated with
hypoxaemia or hypercarbia (e.g., hypertension,
tachycardia, arrhythmia).
Difficult laryngoscopy
It is not possible to visualize any portion of the vocal
cords after multiple attempts at conventional
laryngoscopy.
Difficult tracheal intubation
Tracheal intubation requires multiple attempts, in the
presence or absence of tracheal pathology.
Failed intubation
Placement of the endotracheal tube fails after multiple
intubation attempts.
AssessmentAssessment
ASSESSMENT OF AIRWAYASSESSMENT OF AIRWAY
• History and Physical examination: To detect
medical, surgical and anaesthetic factors hinting
a difficult airway. Previous anesthetic records
• The 1-2-3 test:
• One finger into the temporomandibular joint
• Two-finger breadths’ distance between the upper
and lower incisors
• Three-finger breadths’ distance from the chin to
the thyroid cartilage.
Modified Mallampati Classification of Modified Mallampati Classification of the airwaythe airway
• These classes roughly correlate with the following grades of laryngoscopic views.
• Difficult intubation is anticipated with Mallampati Class III and IV.
