Difficult mask ventilation in general surgical population: observation of risk factors and predictors

2014-08-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> There are few predictors of difficult mask ventilation and a simple, objective, predictive system to identify patients at risk of difficult mask ventilation does not currently exist. We present a retrospective - subgroup analysis aimed at identifying predictive factors for difficult mask ventilation (DMV) in patients undergoing pre-operative airway assessment before elective surgery at a majo...
