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.

Pediatric Trainees Managing a Difficult Airway: Comparison of Laryngeal Mask Airway, Direct, and Video-Assisted Laryngoscopy

OTO Open, 2017
Objective Difficult airway management is a key skill required by all pediatric physicians, yet training on multiple modalities is lacking. The objective of this study was to compare the rate of, and time to, successful advanced infant airway placement ...

Influence of maxillofacial skeletal morphology on difficult laryngoscopy [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiology
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 ...

Identification of Difficult Laryngoscopy via Double-Pose Feature Clustering Network in Patients with Cervical Spondylosis

Intelligent Computing
Background: The identification of difficult laryngoscopy is a critical skill for anesthesiologists, particularly in high-risk procedures such as cervical spine surgery, which demands heightened accuracy in preoperative airway assessment.

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.

Radiological indicators and a novel combined predictive model for anticipating difficult laryngoscopy in cervical spondylosis patients: a prospective cohort study. [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiol
Backgrounds Anticipating difficult laryngoscopy is crucial for preoperative assessment, especially for patients with cervical spondylosis. Radiological assessment has become essential for improving airway management safety. This research introduces novel

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.

Comparison of the glidescope, CMAC, storz DCI with the Macintosh laryngoscope during simulated difficult laryngoscopy: a manikin study [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiology, 2012
Background Videolaryngoscopy presents a new approach for the management of the difficult and rescue airway. There is little available evidence to compare the performance features of these devices in true difficult laryngoscopy.

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)
