Brief Summary

Acromegaly is associated with increased risk of difficult intubation and its management. The overall incidence of difficult intubation in patients suffering from acromegaly is four to five times more than those without acromegaly.The difficult intubation scenario in these patients can be managed by various methods ranging from awake fiberoptic intubation to tracheostomy. Difficult tracheal intubation accounts for 17% of respiratory-related injuries and results in significant morbidity and mortality in general population. In patients with acromegaly, inability to mask ventilate or intubate can lead to 28% of all anesthesia related deaths. Therefore, the need and importance of airway assessment in patients with acromegaly cannot be overemphasized. Various tests of airway assessment have to be used to assess difficult airway and tracheal intubation in acromegalics. The investigators aim to assess the various tests of airway assessment affecting the outcome of patients with acromegaly undergoing pituitary surgery and identify which was best suited.
