Determining airway complications during anaesthesia induction: a prospective, observational, cross-sectional clinical study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although postoperative early airway complications are rarely observed, when they do develop, fatal results such as brain damage and cardiac arrest may occur. The Royal College of Anaesthetists and Difficult Airway Society investigated airway complications developing during anaesthesia over a period of 12 months within the context of the Fourth National Audit Project (NAP4) study. Inspired by that multicentre research project, this study aims to identify early airway complications that can develop in relation to anaesthesia induction in our hospital.

Methods

After our proposed study received approval from the Ethical Council, adult patients undergoing general anaesthesia at our operating theatres within the period of January-July 2018 were included in it. Demographi
