Difficult direct laryngoscopy

The Laryngoscope, 1976
AbstractThis article reviews some of the problems involved in direct laryngoscopy. It suggests adequate preparation and evaluation of the patient to avoid complications. An evaluation of laryngospasm is given. Solutions of the problems are suggested using gear power assistance and adequate drugs for relaxation.

An unexpected difficult laryngoscopy

Pediatric Anesthesia, 2002
Summary A case of unexpected difficult laryngoscopy in a patient with gross hydrocephalus and generalized hypertonus is described. The 30‐month‐old girl had no antecedent history of such difficulty, having had two recent uneventful anaesthetics. We suggest that the reason for our inability to open the patient's mouth was a result of contracture of the ...

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.

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

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

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).

Difficult Laryngoscopy with Diabetes Mellitus

Survey of Anesthesiology, 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 ...

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.

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.

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.
