The aim of the study was to determine the predicting tests for difficult airway and difficult intubation in apparently normal patients. ⋯ We used only two criteria for describing both the visibility of the oropharyngeal structures and the quality of the laryngeal view. The effective and reliable prediction requires a combination of several parameters (BMI, head and neck movement, dentition status, upper lip bite test, interincisor gap and thyromental distance).
