Managing a difficult airway is crucial for anesthesiologist patient safety. This article synthesizes key recommendations from major difficult airway guidelines and algorithms, as no universal standard currently exists.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Difficult airway management presents ongoing challenges for anesthesiologists.
  • Established guidelines and algorithms are vital for patient safety in managing predicted or unexpected difficult airways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize recommendations from prominent difficult airway guidelines and algorithms.
  • To provide a consolidated overview for anesthesiologists facing airway challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of major difficult airway guidelines.
  • Synthesis of recommended strategies and plans for airway management.

Main Results:

  • Identified key recommendations across various guidelines.
  • Highlighted the lack of a universally accepted "gold standard" algorithm.
