Excerpt

In a recent article in Intensive Care Medicine, Graciano et al. [1] reported difficult tracheal intubation (dTI) being associated with severe and non-severe tracheal intubation associated events (TIAEs) in pediatric ICUs (PICUs), and history of difficult airway and sign of upper airway obstruction (UAO) being independent predictors of dTI. …
