Surgical Airway Complications [Medical Malpractice Lawsuit]
Interesting case here: Surgical Airway Complications
44-year-old man scheduled for elective septoplasty and turbinate resection for OSA.
Multiple DL attempts fail, VL gets grade 2 view but can't pass tube, fiberoptic fails.
Guy gets bagged for.... 2 hours??! Then gets a tracheotomy.
Wish we had the full medical records but fascinating case nonetheless.
