• Sommario/riassunto: Management of a patient with a difficult airway has undergone significant changes in recent years, with the introduction of both new ; guidelines and equipment. Chapters cover basic topics such as recognition of a difficult airway and general principles of management and then move onto more complicated topics such as the 'anticipated' and 'unanticipated' difficult airway scenarios.
