Predicting difficult intubation [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1991 Summary Two pre‐operative tests for the prediction of difficult intubation are assessed. A modified Mallampati test and a measurement of thyromental distance were performed at the pre‐operative visit of 244 patients whose tracheas were subsequently intubated under general anaesthesia.

Patient and surgery factors associated with the incidence of failed and difficult intubation
Anaesthesia, 2020 Estimates of the rate and risk‐factors for difficult airway rarely include a denominator for the number of anaesthetics. Approaches such as self‐reporting and crowd‐sourcing of airway incidents may help identify specific lessons from clinical episodes ...
