Difficult Airway Prediction in Paediatric Anaesthesia

The incidence of difficult airway in paediatric population is up-to date not well described. Difficult airway is connected with significant airway-related morbidity and mortality. The majority of difficult airway in paediatric patients should be predictable. The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of difficult airway in paediatric patients scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia and to test the predictability of the set of prediction tests to reveal the patients with high risk of difficult airway.
