• | 28,081 anaesthetized patients were included in this study. |
• | There was a strong correlation between failed facemask ventilation, failed ventilation through a supraglottic airway and difficult tracheal intubation. |
• | When difficult airway is predicted, it is not prudent to induce general anesthesia and to rely a supraglottic airway to secure the airway. |
