Ultrasonography indicators for predicting difficult intubation: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background Ultrasonography (US) is recently used frequently as a tool for airway assessment prior to intubation (endotracheal tube (ETT) placement), and several indicators have been proposed in studies with different reported performances in this regard.

Clinical predictors for perioperative anticipated and unanticipated difficult intubation: a matched case-control study [PDF]
We aimed to determine the clinical predictors of perioperative anticipated and unanticipated difficult intubation using a matched case-control study. We recruited patients undergoing surgery with endotracheal intubation from 2015 to 2020.

Evaluation of different airway tests to determine difficult intubation in apparently normal adult patients undergoing surgical procedures [PDF]
Background Inadequate maintenance of a patient’s airway represents a major cause of anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. This study was designed to evaluate common preoperative clinical tests to determine the risk of difficult endotracheal ...

Prediction of difficult laryngoscopy / difficult intubation cases using upper airway ultrasound measurements in emergency department: a prospective observational study [PDF]
Introduction Difficult laryngoscopy and intubation are serious problems among critically ill patients in emergency department (ED) so utility of a rapid, accurate and noninvasive method for predicting of these patients are necessary.

C-MAC D-Blade vs Airtraq for Intubation with Manual Inline Axial Stabilisation- A Randomised Clinical Trial [PDF]
Introduction: One of the most important skills in anaesthesia is securing the airway with an endotracheal tube. Difficult tracheal intubation however is considered one of the major contributors of anaesthesia related morbidity and mortality.

Effectiveness of simplified predictive intubation difficulty score and thyromental height in head and neck surgeries: an observational study [PDF]
Background and objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the predictive value of different airway assessment tools, including parts of the Simplified Predictive Intubation Difficulty Score (SPIDS), the SPIDS itself and the Thyromental Height ...
