Identification of difficult laryngoscopy using an optimized hybrid architecture [PDF]

BMC Medical Research Methodology
Background Identification of difficult laryngoscopy is a frequent demand in cervical spondylosis clinical surgery. This work aims to develop a hybrid architecture for identifying difficult laryngoscopy based on new indexes.

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 ...

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.

Assessment of Airway Parameters for Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy and Intubation in a Tertiary Center in Western Nepal

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2020
Background: The screening tests used for pre-operative evaluation of airway to predict difficult laryngoscopy and intubation have variable diagnostic accuracy. The unanticipated poor laryngeal view is gold standard for defining difficult intubation.

Complications after medullary thyroid carcinoma surgery: multicentre study of the SQRTPA and EUROCRINE® databases

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
This study investigated postoperative complications after surgery for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in Europe. Hypoparathyroidism, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and bleeding requiring reoperation occurred in 170 (26·2 per cent), 62 (13·7 per cent) and 17 (2·6 per cent) patients respectively.

Limited condylar mobility by ultrasonography predicts difficult direct laryngoscopy in morbidlyobese patients: An observational study

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2021
Background and Aims: Unpredictable difficult laryngoscopy remains a challenge for anaesthesiologists, especially in morbidly obese patients. The present study aimed to determine the efficacy of different sonographic measures as predictors of difficult ...

An observational study to evaluate the role of ultrasound in the prediction of difficult laryngoscopy

Bali Journal of Anesthesiology, 2020
Background: Difficult laryngoscopy (DL) is challenging when difficult ventilation occurs during standard laryngoscopy. For airway assessment, the common clinical airway predictors have low sensitivity (Sn) and specificity (Sp) with a limited predictive ...

The prediction of difficult intubation in obese patients using mirror indirect laryngoscopy: A prospective pilot study

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2013
Background: The incidence of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation in obese patients is higher than in the general population. Classical predictors of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation have been shown to be unreliable.

DIFFICULT LARYNGOSCOPY;

The Professional Medical Journal, 2012
Background: Preoperative evaluation of anatomical landmarks and clinical factors helps to identify potentially difficultlaryngoscopies; however, its predictive reliability is unclear. As the ratio of height to thyromental distance (RHTMD) is a newer upper airwaypredictive test for difficult laryngoscopy, the predictive value and odds ratios of RHTMD ...
