The Application of Airtraq (fibreoptic intubation device) to Otolaryngology [PDF]

Online Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, 2011
The anaesthetic laryngoscope Airtraq is designed for the difficult airway. This disposable laryngoscope requires minimal cervical manipulation and unlike other common anaesthetic larynmgoscopes contains a channel for the guidance of an endotracheal tube.

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

BMC Emerg Med, 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.

Difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation: observational study

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology (English Edition), 2018
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. The aim of this study was to associate the modified Mallampati test and the jaw-thrust maneuver with laryngoscopy (Cormack ...

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

Braz J Anesthesiol, 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.

Evaluation of ultrasound measured tongue thickness, tongue thickness-thyromental distance ratio, and skin-to-epiglottis distance in predicting unanticipated difficult laryngoscopy. [PDF]

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

Predicting difficult laryngoscopy in morbidly obese Thai patients by ultrasound measurement of distance from skin to epiglottis: a prospective observational study. [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiol, 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.

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 ...

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

Sci Rep, 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 ...

A quantitative study of airway ultrasound in predicting difficult laryngoscopy: A prospective study. [PDF]

Chin J Traumatol, 2023
Purpose: As common clinical screening tests cannot effectively predict a difficult airway, and unanticipated difficult laryngoscopy remains a challenge for physicians.
