Perioperative stroke is a rare complication of generalized surgery (1% to 6%). Unexpected difficulties with tracheal intubation (TI), as well as the hyperextended position, may predispose a patient to or play a role in stroke. We sought to identify blood flow changes in carotid and vertebral arterial circulation during simulated TI and develop profile models for stroke risk before possible generalized surgery.
