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

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 intubation in the Indian population: An assessment of anatomical and clinical risk factors

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2013
Background and Aim: Differences in patient characteristics due to race or ethnicity may influence the incidence of difficult airway. Our purpose was to determine the incidence of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation, as well as the anatomical features ...

Influence of maxillofacial skeletal morphology on difficult laryngoscopy. [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiol
Abstract Background Although mandibular retrognathia has been recognized as one of the predictors of difficult laryngoscopy, its definition remains vague, with no clearly established skeletal evaluation systems. The Sassouni classification system, used to categorize the maxillofacial morphology systematically (nine ...

Defining difficult laryngoscopy findings by using multiple parameters: A machine learning approach

Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2017
Background: Preoperative identification of patients whose trachea will be difficult to intubate would decrease the rate of anesthesia related adverse respiratory events. Each test for airway examination may predict a separate aspect of airway. A computer-

Predicting difficult laryngoscopy in acromegalic patients undergoing surgery for excision of pituitary tumors: A comparison of extended Mallampati score with modified Mallampati classification

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2013
Background: There are numerous reports of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation in patients with acromegaly. To date, no study has assessed the application of extended Mallampati score (EMS) for predicting difficult intubation in acromegalics.

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.
