PEREZ LARA, Judith; ACOSTA MENOYA, Alina; DIAZ GENER, Emilio and GONZALEZ MARTINEZ, Ángel. Difficult airway in pediatrics. Predicting signs. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.1, pp.72-82. ISSN 1561-3194.
The management of the airway is the A in the ABC of current medicine, and represents a challenge for an expert in anestesiology, and much more for those in the training process.

In this article a review of the early diagnosis of this entity through predicting signs , considering some main features at the child airway which are different from the adult's was carried out.
