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.

Effectiveness of ultrasonic measurement for the hyomental distance and distance from skin to epiglottis in predicting difficult laryngoscopy in children. [PDF]

Eur Radiol, 2023
Objectives Studies have shown that some ultrasonic indicators can predict difficult airways in adults to an extent. However, whether ultrasonic parameters can be used to predict difficult airways in children is unclear.

Morphometric and ultrasonographic determinants of difficult laryngoscopy in obese patients: A prospective observational study. [PDF]

J Chin Med Assoc, 2022
Background: Obese people have a higher risk of difficult laryngoscopy due to their thick neck, large tongue, and redundant pharyngeal soft tissue. However, there is still no established predictive factor for difficult laryngoscopy in obese population ...

Useful Ultrasonographic Parameters to Predict Difficult Laryngoscopy and Difficult Tracheal Intubation-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Front Med (Lausanne), 2021
Unexpected difficult airway management can cause significant morbidity and mortality in patients admitted for elective procedures. Ultrasonography is a promising tool for perioperative airway assessment, nevertheless it is still unclear which sonographic

Predictive model for difficult laryngoscopy using machine learning: retrospective cohort study. [PDF]

Braz J Anesthesiol, 2022
Background Both predictions and predictors of difficult laryngoscopy are controversial. Machine learning is an excellent alternative method for predicting difficult laryngoscopy.

Acoustic features as novel predictors of difficult laryngoscopy in orthognathic surgery: an observational study. [PDF]

Ann Transl Med, 2021
Background The evaluation of the difficult intubation is an important process before anaesthesia. The unanticipated difficult intubation is associated with morbidity and mortality.

Ultrasound measurement of laryngeal structures in the parasagittal plane for the prediction of difficult laryngoscopies in Chinese adults [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiology, 2020
Background Abnormal laryngeal structures are likely to be associated with a difficult laryngoscopy procedure. Currently, laryngeal structures can be measured by ultrasonography, however, little research has been performed on the potential role of ...

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 Pharmacology
Background and Aims: The contemporary literature review suggests upper airway ultrasound can help us to diagnose an unanticipated difficult airway before laryngoscopy.
