Clinical predictors for perioperative anticipated and unanticipated difficult intubation: a matched case-control study [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe 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.

Difficult Intubation Alert Is Associated With a Reduced Incidence of Difficult Intubation. [PDF]
CureusDifficult or failed intubation significantly increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Documentation of a prior difficult or failed tracheal intubation is a strong predictor of future difficult intubation.We undertook a quality improvement project to create a redesigned difficult intubation alert with increased visibility in our electronic health ...

Predicting difficult intubation [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1991 Summary Two pre‐operative tests for the prediction of difficult intubation are assessed. A modified Mallampati test and a measurement of thyromental distance were performed at the pre‐operative visit of 244 patients whose tracheas were subsequently intubated under general anaesthesia.
