"abdominal respiration" or "diaphragmatic respiration" could be as a result of
Injury to below C3.
These maintain diaphragmatic characteristic, but lose intercostal and abdominal muscle
contribution to respiratory.
These patients show a seesaw sample of respiration.

Assessment for Difficult Intubation
Look Externally - small mouth, overbite, facial trauma
Evaluate the three-three-2 Rule - evaluates alignment of pharyngeal, laryngeal, and oral aes.
