The presence of 2 of the following 5 factors predict possible difficulty with bagging: facial hair, obesity, no teeth, advanced age, or snoring. Multiple external features, such as facial hair, obesity, short neck, short or long chin, and any airway deformity, suggest possible difficulty with intubation. A small oral opening, decreased neck mobility, a poor view of the posterior pharynx also suggest possible problems. If difficulty is anticipated, consider other methods of airway management such as videolaryngoscopy, awake intubation, cricothyrotomy, or an alternative airway device.
