Predicting Difficult Tracheal Intubation in Head and Neck Cancer Patients with Osteoradionecrosis: Development of the ORN-Difficult-Airway-Score [PDF]
Background: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) following head and neck radiotherapy has been demonstrated to induce structural and functional alterations of the upper airway, with the potential to complicate the process of tracheal intubation. Despite its clinical
