Difficult Laryngoscopy and Diabetes Mellitus
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1989 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 ...

Evaluation of thyromental height as a predictor of difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation: a cross-sectional observational study [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2022 Background and objectives: Several anthropometric measurements have been suggested to identify a potentially difficult airway. We studied thyromental height (TMH) as a predictor of difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation.

Prediction of difficult laryngoscopy / difficult intubation cases using upper airway ultrasound measurements in emergency department: a prospective observational study [PDF]
BMC Emergency Medicine, 2023 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.

Comparative analysis of popular predictors for difficult laryngoscopy using hybrid intelligent detection methods [PDF]
Heliyon, 2022 Difficult laryngoscopy is associated with airway injury, and asphyxia. There are no guidelines or gold standards for detecting difficult laryngoscopy. There are many opinions on which predictors to use to detect difficult laryngoscopy exposure, and no ...

Evaluation of ultrasound measured tongue thickness, tongue thickness–thyromental distance ratio, and skin-to-epiglottis distance in predicting unanticipated difficult laryngoscopy [PDF]
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical PharmacologyBackground and Aims: The contemporary literature review suggests upper airway ultrasound can help us to diagnose an unanticipated difficult airway before laryngoscopy.

ANATOMICAL FACTORS IN DIFFICULT DIRECT LARYNGOSCOPY
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1975 The anatomical factors in difficult direct laryngoscopy have been assessed. Thirteen patients in whom direct laryngoscopy proved difficult and thirteen control patients, all with teeth, had lateral, postero-anterior and submento-vertical radiographs taken. Several measurements were made and compared.

Predicting difficult laryngoscopy in morbidly obese Thai patients by ultrasound measurement of distance from skin to epiglottis: a prospective observational study [PDF]
BMC Anesthesiology, 2022 Background In morbidly obese patients, airway management is challenging since the incidence of difficult intubation is three times than those with a BMI within the healthy range.

Anterior neck soft tissue measurements on computed tomography to predict difficult laryngoscopy: a retrospective study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Predicting difficult laryngoscopy is an essential component of the airway management. We aimed to evaluate the use of anterior neck soft tissue measurements on computed tomography for predicting difficult laryngoscopy and to present a clear measurement ...
