The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) defines a difficult airway (DA) as the presence of clinical conditions that make both mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation difficult in patients under these circumstances. This situation occurs in 0.05% to 0.1% of procedures. (2) On the other hand, difficult tracheal intubation (DTI) refers to cases that exceed three attempts or take more than ten minutes to achieve successful intubation. (1-4) Preoperative prediction of difficult tracheal intubation (DTI) is a critical component of anesthetic assessment. This is because the existence of an unanticipated complicated airway is associated with a significant increase in perioperative morbidity and mortality. In this context, having clinical tests that are simple, reproducible, quick to perform, and highly diagnostic is essential for safe anesthetic practice (8). The objective of this study is to analyze the value of the El-Ganzouri index for the early detection of cases of complex tracheal intubation in adults undergoing general anesthesia at the Felipe Santiago Arriola Iglesias Regional Hospital in Loreto between 2019 and 2024. The methodology applied for this study followed an observational, analytical, cross-sectional, and retrospective approach.
