Automatic detection of difficult tracheal intubation

摘要

Before the routine anesthesia, an airway examination must be performed during the pre-anesthetic examination for all patients who need a surgical operation in order to decide whether the tracheal intubation is easy or hard. In the field of anesthesia and intensive care, many works have been performed in order to reduce as much as possible the anesthetic risks and the mortality rate as well as to provide assistance to the Doctors Specialized in Anesthesia (DSA's).
