    AbstractAnesthesiologists may encounter particularly challenging airway management problems and anesthetic requirements for any surgical procedure. However, this is frequently the case with ENT surgery and its patient population. Sharing the airway with the surgeon requires a special understanding of the procedure to be undertaken, clear communication, and cooperation. Basic knowledge concerning the airway anatomy and physiology is essential. Special ENT procedures require special skills. Anesthesiologists may be required to secure an airway in an unconventional manner in these patients, as well as use special ventilation methodology and challenging anesthesia techniques.
