Expected Difficult Airway Management

In this study, the investigators will evaluate the advanced airway methods applied in the anesthesiology and reanimation clinic of the hospital to patients who met the criteria for awake intubation specified in the ASA 2022 difficult airway management guideline or who could not be intubated after induction of anesthesia in another center. The advanced airway method applied to the difficult airway patient expected in the operating room, the duration, success and complications of the method will be observed and recorded.
