Predicting Difficult Intubation with Indirect Laryngoscopy

Anesthesiology, 1997
Background It is not always possible to predict when tracheal intubation will be difficult or impossible. The authors wanted to determine whether indirect laryngoscopy could identify patients in whom intubation was difficult. Methods Indirect laryngoscopy was done in 2,504 patients.

Ultrasonography for predicting a difficult laryngoscopy. Getting closer

Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, 2020
Our objective was to evaluate the usefulness of five ultrasound measurements to predict a difficult laryngoscopy (DL). Prospective observational study. 50 patients underwent scheduled surgery under general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation with classical laryngoscopy at the University Hospital of Jaén (Spain).

Submental Ultrasound Is Effective in Predicting Difficult Mask Ventilation but Not in Difficult Laryngoscopy

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2021
The goal of this study was to determine the utility of submental ultrasound parameters in distinguishing difficult airway management from easy airway management. Forty-one adult patients who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation from March to December 2018 were included. We used submental ultrasound to measure

The Efficacy of the "BURP" Maneuver During a Difficult Laryngoscopy

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1997
The displacement of the larynx in the three specific directions (a) posteriorly against the cervical vertebrae, (b) superiorly as possible, and (c) slightly laterally to the right have been reported and named the "BURP" maneuver. We evaluated the efficacy of the BURP maneuver in improving visualization of the larynx. Six hundred thirty patients without

Prediction of difficult direct laryngoscopy

Russian Otorhinolaryngology, 2018
The article considers the interrelation between the detection of underlying factors of difficult intubation and the direct intraoperational laryngoscopy data based on case studies. The authors demonstrate the importance of detailed preoperative examination of the patient for the choice of adequate methods of better visualization of the airway.

The extraction and re-implantation of teeth for the difficult laryngoscopy

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1994
We describe two cases where it was necessary to remove teeth to biopsy the larynx for malignant disease. Immediate reimplantation of the teeth proved successful.

Difficult laryngoscopy caused by massive mandibular tori

Journal of Anesthesia, 2009
Mandibular tori, defined as bony protuberances located along the lingual aspect of the mandible, are a possible cause of difficult intubation. We describe a case of mandibular tori that resulted in difficult intubation. A 62-year-old woman who had speech problems was diagnosed with mandibular tori, and was scheduled for surgical resection.

Difficult Laryngoscopy/Intubation: The Child with Mandibular Hypoplasia

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1983
The child with mandibular hypoplasia (Treacher Collins syndrome, Pierre Robin sequence, hemifacial microsomia, etc) presents the otolaryngologist and anesthesiologist with considerable problems when direct laryngoscopy and/or endotracheal intubation is attempted. In addition to the small mandible, several other features of these patients contribute to

Radiographic Predictors of Difficult Laryngoscopy in Acromegaly Patients

Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology, 2019
Background: Patients with acromegaly have a high risk of difficult laryngoscopy. However, clinical predictors, such as upper lip bite test or modified Mallampati class, show limited predictive performance for difficult laryngoscopy in such patients.
