Airway Assessment • • Airway assessment considerations: 1. Is there a documentation regarding previous airway difficulty? 2. What is the impact of surgery on the airway? 3. How difficult is bag and mask ventilation? 4. How difficult is it to place a supraglottic airway device? 5. How difficult is it to intubate the patient? 6. How difficult is it to perform an infraglottic airway? 7. What is the aspiration risk? 8. Is there any related cardio-pulmonary physiology? 9. Who easily with they be to extubate? The most valuable independent predictors of difficult mask ventilation are: - Being aged more than 55. - Having a BMI of more than 26. - Facial hair. - History of snoring. Important components of preoperative airway assessment: • Difficult airway screening tests: • Effects of pre-existing illnesses. ✓ All co-existing medial conditions must be identified, as well as their degree of severity, control and stability should be assessed by symptomology, level of care (GP or specialist) and/or recent investigation. ✓ Intercurrent disease or drug therapy can influence anaesthesia: - Effects of anaesthesia - Choice of technique - Choice of surgical procedure or technique - Normal compensatory response to anaesthesia or surgery - The investigations required, pre-operative preparation and timing of surgery. - Postoperative management and resources. (e.g. availability of ICU beds). - The course of the disease may be modified by anaesthesia and surgery. - For example, OSA causes a higher incidence of difficult airway management and perioperative complications, such as respiratory events, delirium and AF.
