Comparative analysis of popular predictors for difficult laryngoscopy using hybrid intelligent detection methods

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 ...

Preoperative radiological indicators for prediction of difficult laryngoscopy in patients with atlantoaxial dislocation

Heliyon
Background: Difficult airway remains a great challenge in patients with atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD). Preoperative evaluation and reliable prediction are required to facilitate the airway management.

Difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation: observational study

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2018
Introduction: Since anesthesia complications associated with unexpected difficult airway are potentially catastrophic, they should be avoided. The modified Mallampati test and jaw-thrust maneuver enable the identification of difficult airway.

Evaluation of thyromental height as a predictor of difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation: a cross-sectional observational study

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

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.

Assessment of Airway Parameters for Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy and Intubation in a Tertiary Center in Western Nepal

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2020
Background: The screening tests used for pre-operative evaluation of airway to predict difficult laryngoscopy and intubation have variable diagnostic accuracy. The unanticipated poor laryngeal view is gold standard for defining difficult intubation.

Complications after medullary thyroid carcinoma surgery: multicentre study of the SQRTPA and EUROCRINE® databases

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
This study investigated postoperative complications after surgery for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in Europe. Hypoparathyroidism, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and bleeding requiring reoperation occurred in 170 (26·2 per cent), 62 (13·7 per cent) and 17 (2·6 per cent) patients respectively.

Anterior neck soft tissue measurements on computed tomography to predict difficult laryngoscopy: a retrospective study

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 ...
