Development and feasibility of a scale to assess postoperative recovery: the post-operative quality recovery scale.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mask ventilation is an essential element of airway management that has rarely been studied as the primary outcome. The authors sought to determine the incidence and predictors of difficult and impossible mask ventilation. METHODS:A four-point scale to grade difficulty in performing mask ventilation (MV) is ...
