Standard pre-operative difficult airway predictors, such as the Mallampati score, thyromental distance and neck mobility, have been shown to be challenging to apply in the emergency setting due to lack of patient cooperation and the urgency to complete the intubation rapidly [ 23, 24].
Just as in other professions, nurses discuss patients and classify them either as co-operative or difficult.
Under direct faculty supervision, the Chief Residents perform the vast majority of the difficult operative procedures carried out at SUMC.

The current approach to managing the distal pancreas after pancreaticoduodenectomy is to anastomose the stump to either the jejunum or stomach, but pancreatic ductal occlusion without anastomosis of the pancreatic remnant remains an option during difficult operative circumstances.

Although direct comparison of the patients' baseline and operative characteristics is difficult, the higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (12.8%) in the previous study might be one reason for this discrepancy.
36 The modes of follow-up are critical, 32 as are completeness and accuracy of data collection, which can lead to loss of follow-up and various misclassification biases (for example, outcomes of difficult operative cases being attributed to revision surgery or a medical device).
