The opening of the oral cavity was limited in 19.30% (n=11). The Mallampati class was not appreciable in 43,86% (n=25) of cases. Patients were classified ASA 1 in 75.44% (n=43). Surgery was scheduled in 98.25% (n=56) of cases. Traumatic and tumor pathologies were the most indicated surgeries in 40.35% (n=23) and 38.60% (n=22) of cases respectively. General anesthesia was the anesthetic technique in all our patients. Propofol was the most used hypnotic in 49.12%(n=28). Celocurine was used for induction in 85.96% (n=44). Orotracheal intubation was perfoomed in 71.93% (n=41) of our patients; it was difficult in 38.64%(n=16) of cases. Nasotracheal intubation was performed in 22.18% (n=13). Primary tracheotomy was performed in three of our patients; that is, 5.26%. Tachycardia and hypotension were the most frequent incidents in 33.33% (n=19) and 24.56% (n=14) respectively. Cardiopulmorary arrest occurred in 1.75%(n=1) of cases. Thirty-one point fifty-eight (n=18) of our patients had received a blood transfusion.
