RESUMEN

La vía aérea difícil representa un reto para el anestesiólogo experto y aún más para el que se encuentra en entrenamiento. Una intubación difícil no anticipada es una emergencia médica, la cual si no es tratada con rapidez y de forma apropiada puede condicionar problemas serios y aun la muerte del paciente. El presente artículo pretende proporcionar una visión global del diagnóstico y manejo de esta entidad.
