Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age >=18 years; 2. Undergoing elective surgery/procedure at this hospital, with anesthesia planned via oral or nasal endotracheal intubation (including awake intubation, intubation after visual inspection under local anesthesia, or routine induction intubation); 3. Implementation of the "collective preoperative airway assessment" process during the study period and completion of strategy documentation; 4. The participant (or legal representative) agrees to the use of de-identified clinical data for research purposes.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients ventilated solely with a laryngeal mask airway without intubation throughout the procedure; 2. Patients receiving only mask ventilation/sedation with no need for endotracheal intubation; 3. Patients who were switched to a laryngeal mask airway during surgery, with intubation unnecessary or the intubation plan canceled; 4. Cases where key fields of study data are missing and cannot be completed (e.g., unable to determine if an unanticipated crisis occurred).
