abstract = {Awake tracheal intubation (ATI) is a core strategy in the management of the anticipated difficult airway. Difficult Airway Society (DAS) guidelines recommend the use of cognitive aids, such as a checklist, before and during performance of ATI, and that the maximum dose of local anaesthetic (LA) should not exceed 9 mg/kg lean body weight. ATI may be associated with the most operator-related psychological stress of all airway management interventions. Appropriate preparation will mitigate the risk of complications and failure. This was highlighted in the 4th national audit project (NAP4), which recommended that all anaesthesia departments have the skill and equipment readily available for ATI. We aimed to generate a guide for ATI and a medication dosing tool.},
