Practice Guidelines for Management of the Difficult Airway:
Special Update
An Updated Report by the American Society of Anesthesiologists
Task Force on Management of the Difficult Airway
Anesthesiology 2003; 98(5):1269-1277Address reprint requests to the American Society of Anesthesiologists: 520 North Northwest Highway, Park Ridge, Illinois 60068-2573.
Individual Practice Guidelines may be obtained at no cost through the Journal Web site, www.anesthesiology.orgNewly released is the ASA's "systematically developed set of recommendations based on analysis of the current literature and a synthesis of expert opinion."
It replaces the 1993 report. It includes data published since 1992 and recommends a wider range of management techniques.
This expert document will be, as were the previous versions, a cornerstone in examining an appropriate standard of care.
