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.

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 ...

Preoperative bedside test indicators as predictors of difficult video laryngoscopy in obese patients: a prospective observational study [PDF]

PeerJ
Purpose The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with difficult video laryngoscopy in obese patients. Methods A total of 579 obese patients undergoing elective laparoscopic weight loss surgery were intubated with a single-lumen ...

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 ...

Laryngoscopic Image Stitching for View Enhancement and Documentation - First Experiences [PDF]

, 2012
One known problem within laryngoscopy is the spatially limited view onto the hypopharynx and the larynx through the endoscope. To examine the complete larynx and hypopharynx, the laryngoscope can be rotated about its main axis, and hence the physician ...

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.

Orotracheal intubation in infants performed with a stylet versus without a stylet [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Neonatal endotracheal intubation is a common and potentially life-saving intervention. It is a mandatory skill for neonatal trainees, but one that is difficult to master and maintain.
