Source Anaesthesia; Jul 2021; vol. 76 ; p. 49 In critical care, 80% of airway-related critical incidents occur post-intubation. There is also a high frequency of re-intubations in critical care patients within 48 h of extubation. Therefore, being able to anticipate a difficult airway holds value. Higgs et al. [1] recommend that identifying difficult airway can reduce adverse events and the critical care multidisciplinary team should be aware of patients with a difficult airway via effective documentation and handover, so that risks are mitigated.
