92 Stridor Obstructed Airway The worst fear of most Anaesthetists

93 Stridor Obstructed Airway - issues

94 Stridor Obstructed Airway - issues 1. Elderly cachetic patient 2. Shared airway & poor access 3. Abn anatomy difficult intubation 4. Smoking CVS & Resp disease 5. Large intraop blood loss 6. Carotid sinus stimulation 7. Air embolus or pneumothorax
