Defining difficult laryngoscopy findings by using multiple parameters: A machine learning approach

, 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.

Neck circumference to inter-incisor gap ratio: a new predictor of difficult laryngoscopy in cervical spondylosis patients

BMC Anesthesiology, 2017
Background Preoperative airway assessment help anticipate a difficult airway. We hypothesized that a close association existed between difficult laryngoscopy and the neck circumference/inter-incisor gap ratio (RNIIG). Our aim was to determine its utility

Comparison of Four Methods for Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy: A Prospective Study of Validity Indexes

Archives of Anesthesia and Critical Care, 2018
Background: Considering that a simple yet valid airway predictor is basically preferred to a multivariable test with the same level of validity, we designed a study to compare the validity indexes of the TMHT, as a single variable test, with that of ...

Ultrasonographic Prediction of Difficult Laryngoscopy in Obese Patients

Indian Journal of Medical Specialities, 2020
Introduction: Anticipation of difficulties in airway management is of prime importance in avoiding potential catastrophies. Obese patients form part of a population that is believed to have difficult airway.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
