Airway Ultrasound as Predictor of Difficult Direct Laryngoscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2022 Background: Despite several clinical index tests that are currently applied for airway assessment, unpredicted difficult laryngoscopy may still represent a serious problem in anesthesia practice. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to

Nasotracheal Intubation under Videolaryngoscopy in Mandibular Abscess with Trismus [PDF]
, 2022 Management of a difficult airway is a challenge for every anesthesiologist. Mandibular stiffness, trismus, and facial structural deformities often limit the available airway management options. With a variety of techniques that have been developed today,

Prediction of the Difficult Laryngoscopy with Ultrasound Measurements of Hyomental Distance [PDF]
, 2022 Ultrasound measurement of hyomental distance is promising as a predictor for difficult laryngo-scopy in cases of difficult airway management. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognos-tic value of ultrasound measurement of hyomental distance (HMD)

Difficult Laryngoscopy and Diabetes Mellitus
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1988 The incidence of difficult laryngoscopy was determined retrospectively in 40 diabetic patients having pancreas transplantations and in 75 diabetic and 112 nondiabetic patients having kidney transplantations. Diabetes was associated with a significant increase in the proportion of patients having difficult laryngoscopies in patients having renal ...

Experience with the McCoy laryngoscope in difficult laryngoscopy [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1997 We report our experience with the McCoy levering laryngoscope in 48 patients who were a Cormack and Lehane grade 3 or grade 4 view at direct laryngoscopy. The view with the blade in neutral position was grade 3 in 39 patients and grade 4 in nine patients.

MANDIBULOHYOID DISTANCE IN DIFFICULT LARYNGOSCOPY
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1993 We studied radiographically 11 patients in whom direct laryngoscopy proved difficult and 100 control (general population) subjects. The vertical distance between the mandible and the hyoid bone (mandibulohyoid distance) was measured and the positions of the mandibular angle and hyoid bone determined in relation to the cervical vertebrae.
