A member asked:

Able to open my mouth alittle bit (only 2 fingers) will that be enough for general anesthesia's intubation? what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Requires evaluation: You require evaluation by your anesthesiologist prior to surgery. If you appear to have a difficult airway, alternative techniques to oral intubation may be required. You physician anesthesiologist is very skilled in such matters and will explain his plan in detail to you.
