Summary

The HEAVEN criteria were found valid to predict difficult airways during preclinical emergency intubations in a retrospective study. The acronym stands for Hypoxemia, Extremes of size, Anatomic abnormalities, Vomit/blood/fluid, Exsanguination/anaemia, and Neck mobility issues. This is a monocentric prospective observational study to assess the validity of the HEAVEN criteria in the in-hospital setting at a level I adult and pediatric emergency university-based hospital.
