El manejo de la Vía Aérea es la A del ABC de la medicina moderna y 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, si no es tratada con rapidez y de forma apropiada, puede condicionar problemas serios y hasta la muerte del paciente. En el presente artículo se hace una revisión del diagnóstico precoz de esta entidad, mediante signos predictores, teniendo en cuenta algunas de las características principales de la vía aérea del niño que la diferencian del adulto.
