AbstractPatients who are difficult to intubate are randomly encountered. Patients who are in the postoperative period or who have suffered trauma have a greater chance of being difficult to intubate. The ability to quickly mobilize trained personnel and advanced equipment provides the best chance for a good outcome for these patients. Practice in placement of and intubation with LMAs is an important step toward providing an extensive safety net for patients needing intubation.
