Background And Aims: Safe airway management is the cornerstone of contemporary anaesthesia practice, and difficult intubation (DI) remains a major cause of anaesthetic morbidity and mortality. The surgical category, particularly cardiac surgery as a risk factor for DI has not been studied extensively. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis whether cardiac surgical patients are at increased risk of DI.

- The study tested whether pregabalin improves postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG), using the QoR-40 questionnaire for assessment.
- Participants were randomly assigned to either a pregabalin group or a control group receiving placebos, with postoperative recovery evaluated 24 hours after extubation.
- Results showed that the pregabalin group had significantly better recovery scores, particularly in emotional state, physical comfort, and pain management, suggesting that pregabalin is beneficial for patients post-surgery.
