Difficult airway is defined as difficult facemask or supraglottic airway （SGA） ventilation, difficult SGA placement, laryngoscopy, tracheal intubation, or failed intubation. We presented three cases of difficult airway and their airway management.展开更多
For the three cases listed in this article, difficult airway was anticipated preoperatively. We described how we intubated, but it did not mean what we did was the best choice.
