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.

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-

Evaluation of Ultrasonography with Conventional Clinical Parameters for Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy

Archives of Anesthesia and Critical Care, 2023
Background: Unanticipated difficult intubation poses a challenge in routine practice for anaesthesiologists. A preoperative airway evaluation helps in the identification of a difficult airway.
