Assessment of difficult laryngoscopy by electronically measured maxillo-pharyngeal angle on lateral cervical radiograph: A prospective study

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2010
Background: Difficult airway continued to be a major cause of anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Successful airway management depends on direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation.

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.

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 ...

Prediction of the Difficult Laryngoscopy with Ultrasound Measurements of Hyomental Distance [PDF]

, 2022
Ultrasound measurement of hyomental distance is promising as a predictor for difficult laryngo-scopy in cases of difficult airway management. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognos-tic value of ultrasound measurement of hyomental distance (HMD)

Determinants of difficult laryngoscopy based on upper airway indicators: a prospective observational study. [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiol
Background The main cause of anesthesia-related deaths is the failure to manage difficult airways. Difficult laryngoscopic exposure is a major cause of unsuccessful management of difficult airways.
