This is appropriate in cases where the patient needs to be fully informed, when the airway mucosa presents oedema, bleeding or trauma, or different equipment or personnel are needed. If the surgery cannot be delayed, GA induction may be possible if ventilation with FM or SGA is adequate. Another alternative is to perform regional anaesthesia (neuroaxial or epidural anaesthesia, as appropriate), if feasible. None of these alternatives involve securing the airway, so a plan to deal with a difficult TI must be made.

The latter is the most common situation and is often caused by poor airway assessment.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0285"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> In both situations, the patient may have a full stomach, so the risk of bronchopulmonary aspiration is considerable.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The decision-making process is influenced by the patient's characteristics, the urgency of the surgery, and the skills of the operator. The fundamental principle must always be maintaining airway patency, oxygenation, and minimising the risk of aspiration.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">If FM ventilation is adequate, emergency intubation will not be required. However, if FM ventilation is inadequate, an emergency non-invasive technique (insertion of an SGA) is indicated or, failing this, an invasive surgical technique (surgical, percutaneous airway or jet ventilation). In both cases, help should be summoned immediately, and the feasibility of restoring spontaneous ventilation and awakening the patient should be considered.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The possibility of performing ventilation with FM is a key issue in decision-making. Therefore, early ventilation with FM using 100% oxygen after induction of GA is always recommended. This also enables the anaesthetist to assess the convenience of maintaining spontaneous ventilation before performing neuromuscular blockade (NMB). TI can be successfully achieved without NMB, so it is a valid alternative in a suspected DA.</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Each laryngoscopy and TI attempt can potentially cause airway trauma and worsen the situation further. Therefore, they must be performed under optimum conditions from the start, and the number and duration of attempts should be limited since the probability of success decreases with each attempt. Repeated attempts can cause oedema and bleeding, reduce the likelihood of effective rescue with an SGA, and increase the risk of progression to a CICO scenario. Therefore, the DAS recommends a maximum of 3 TI attempts; a fourth attempt can only be made by an experienced anaesthesiologist.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0265"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> After a failed attempt, the same technique should not be repeated, and changes should be introduced in each additional attempt to improve the chances of success. This may include changing the position of the patient, the device or blade, or the depth of NMB, using adjuncts such as introducers and stylet, and calling in a more experienced operator. When all attempts fail, the TI must be declared unsuccessful and the next level of the algorithm should be attempted. Impaired ventilation should indicate the early use of an SGA and, if unsuccessful, the use of surgical access.</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Gas exchange during and between TI attempts (ventilation with FM) should be maintained using apnoeic oxygenation techniques<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0370"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a> and positive pressure ventilation through an endoscopic mask<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0375"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25,26</span></a> or a laryngeal mask airway (LMA); the latter also serves as a conduit for the FOB.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0385"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a></p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">All the TI techniques available for an awake patient can also be used for the unconscious or anesthetised patient. However, under such conditions, TI with direct laryngoscopy and FOB is likely to be more difficult, for the reasons discussed above. The choice of technique determines the probability of success. VL offers better glottic vision than conventional direct laryngoscopy, and is currently the first choice for some anesthesiologists.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0270"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,28</span></a> FOB or optical stylet may be the preferred technique for skilled operators. The use of FOB should be avoided in an emergency due to technical problems (ventilation, secretions and bleeding), unless used by an experienced operator. In general, any blind technique should be avoided due to the high failure rate and the potential for airway trauma, which can result in further deterioration of ventilation. The first and second choice of laryngoscope will be determined by the experience and training of the anaesthesiologist.</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Besides poor vision of the laryngeal structures, difficulty in TI may be due to the impossibility of advancing the ETT through the glottis. Small diameter ETTs are easier to insert because they enable better visualisation of the passage between the vocal cords, and cause less trauma. The advance of the ETT can be impeded by arytenoids, especially when guided by an introducer or FOB. This problem can be overcome by counter clockwise rotation of the ETT, by reducing the gauge difference between the FOB or introducer and the ETT, and by using flexible ETTs with a silicone distal end and centre hole. A preconfigured stylet can facilitate TI in grade 2 or grade 3 Cormack–Lehane view. Blind insertion in grades 3b and 4 is not recommended because of the high risk of airway trauma. The use of a stylet is necessary when using a VL with an angled blade without a guide channel.</p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Once TI has been achieved, correct placement should be ascertained by visual confirmation of ETT between the vocal cords, bilateral and symmetrical thoracic expansion, auscultation, and capnography. Availability of the latter is necessary, since this is the gold standard for confirmation of pulmonary ventilation. The utility of ultrasound has also been demonstrated.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0395"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">29</span></a></p><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">If all TI attempts are unsuccessful, the following should be considered: (1) Awakening the patient. This is the safest option if the intervention can be deferred, and requires complete reversal of NMB. In the case of NMB with rocuronium or vecuronium, reversal is reliably achieved with the administration of sugammadex.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0400"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">30,31</span></a> Surgery may be postponed or performed using awake TI or regional anaesthesia; (2) Attempting TI with FOB via an SGA. This is an option if the clinical condition is stable, oxygenation is possible through an SGA, and the anaesthesiologist is experienced in the technique. As a basic principle, the number of airway interventions should be minimised; thus, repeated attempts are inappropriate. Blind techniques are discouraged because of the frequent need for repeated attempts and the potential complications; (3) Proceeding with surgery using an FM or SGA. If awakening the patient is not an option, for example, in the case of emergent surgery (e.g. caesarean section). This is a high-risk technique and therefore may only be used in life-threatening situations. Ventilation through these devices may be impaired by device malpositioning, regurgitation, airway oedema, or surgical factors; (4) Securing the airway by surgical access (tracheotomy or cricothyroidotomy) before losing ventilation capacity with FM or SGA.</p><p id="par0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Failure of TI and ventilation with FM, without life-threatening hypoxaemia, require insertion of an SGA to maintain oxygenation. The LMA, the Combitube and the laryngeal tube have demonstrated effectiveness in emergency airway rescue in this scenario.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0260"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> An observational study found that LMA provided effective rescue ventilation in 94.1% of patients who could not be ventilated with FM or intubated.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0410"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">32</span></a> The DAS algorithm includes this step after failure of TI, regardless of whether FM ventilation is feasible. After insertion, correct ventilation should be confirmed by means of clinical examination and capnography, and the surgical team should stop and think in order to decide how best to proceed.</p><p id="par0180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the guidelines do not clarify a particular order of selection, the type of rescue SGA must be selected before anaesthesia induction. Factors to consider are the clinical situation, availability of the device, its risks and benefits, and operator experience. The ideal features of an SGA for airway rescue are: easy insertion at the first attempt, high oropharyngeal sealing pressure, isolation of the gastrointestinal and the respiratory tract, and FOB-guided TI compatibility. Second-generation SGAs are more effective and safer than first-generation ones, as they provide better sealing and offer greater protection against aspiration; therefore, they should be available in all centers.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0265"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0185" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Cricoid pressure reduces the hypopharyngeal space, and can prevent insertion of the SGA. If cricoid pressure is used during fast sequence induction, it must be released during insertion of the device. Importantly, SGAs are not useful in patients with glottic or subglottic obstruction. In such cases, the use of the rigid bronchoscope enables ventilation by establishing a permeable airway beyond the obstruction.</p><p id="par0190" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The Combitube, when correctly placed, enables ventilation with a higher sealing pressure than the traditional LMA, protects against regurgitation, and allows TI with FOB, while the oesophageal cuff protects the airway.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0415"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">33</span></a></p><p id="par0195" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Repeated attempts at SGA insertion increase the risks of airway injury, decrease the likelihood of success, and delay the decision to accept failure and to switch to an alternative technique to maintain oxygenation.

The technique involves the following: neck extension, identification of the cricothyroid membrane with the index finger, previous stabilisation of the larynx with the non-dominant hand, transverse incision with a number 10 blade scalpel through the skin and the cricothyroid membrane (make a transverse incision with the cutting edge of the blade facing towards you and turn it 90° so that the sharp edge points caudally), gentle insertion of up 10–15<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm of an elastic bougie with angled tip through the incision before withdrawing the scalpel blade and railroading a lubricated size 6.0<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm cuffed tracheal tube over the bougie into the trachea. The procedure should only be attempted with complete neuromuscular blockade and oxygen (100%) delivered to the upper airway using an SGA, well-adjusted FM, or nasal insufflation. In cases where the cricothyroid membrane is not palpable (e.g. an obese patient), a previous caudocephalic central incision of 8–10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm and a digital dissection of the adipose tissue are recommended to identify laryngeal structures.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0265"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0210" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The foregoing technique has several advantages: it protects the airway from aspiration, and enables normal minute ventilation with low pressure and end-tidal CO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> monitoring.

Nonetheless, a safe, carefully considered strategy should be followed, taking into account the type of surgery, the patient's condition, and the clinician's abilities and preferences. The ideal method of extubation is gradual, step by step, and reversible at any time. The ASA recommends weighing up the relative merits of awake extubation versus extubation before the return of consciousness, assessing the presence of clinical factors that may impair ventilation after extubation (e.g. altered mental status, abnormal gas exchange, airway oedema, an inability to eliminate secretions, and inadequate return of neuromuscular function), putting in place a pre-established airway management plan in the event that spontaneous ventilation is ineffective after extubation (for example, the equipment necessary to deal with a DA), and considering the short-term use of an ETT exchanger or a jet stylet that serves as a ventilation and guidance device for TI.</p><p id="par0230" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Postoperative surveillance is essential for diagnosing and treating possible adverse effects which could otherwise go unnoticed. Any instrumentation and manipulation of a DA can cause trauma or complications, such as oedema, haemorrhage, oesophageal or tracheal perforation, pneumothorax or pulmonary aspiration.

Most of the relevant documents currently available present recommendations based on systematic reviews, with levels of evidence regarding the prediction of DA, the treatment of anticipated an unexpected DA, CICO scenario and extubation of DA. Like the ASA algorithm, the Italian, German and French guidelines incorporate all the scenarios into a single document. In contrast, the Canadian Society developed separate guidelines for each situation, comparable to the DAS. Likewise, the guidelines consider awake TI as the strategy of choice for predicted DA; the FOB as the gold standard for DA in the awake, sedated, or anesthetised patient, and for controlling ETT positioning; VL as a superior alternative to direct laryngoscopy for the primary management of DA, and as an excellent rescue device after DA failure; and the SGA as a non-invasive rescue method when FM ventilation is not possible.</p><p id="par0255" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The guidelines differ mainly in specific details, such as algorithm organisation, the number of suggested TI attempts, alternative devices, and recommended surgical access techniques.

Nonetheless, there is no clear evidence of the superiority of any particular technique.

Guidelines should be adapted to the specific skills and individual judgement of anaesthesiologists, to the availability of devices in each centre, and to patient characteristics. Practitioners should develop their own individual strategies, based on their knowledge and clinical experience. Techniques selected should be routinely applied prior to their application in a real-life DA.
