Detection of difficult airway using deep learningAbstract Whenever a patient needs to enter the operating room, in case the surgery requires general anesthesia, he/she must be intubated, and an anesthesiologist has to make a previous check to the patient in order to evaluate his/her airway. This process should be done to the patient to anticipate any problem, such as a difficult airway at the time of being anesthetized. In fact, the inadequate detection of a difficult airway can cause serious complications,...
