Experience with the McCoy laryngoscope in difficult laryngoscopy [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 1997
We report our experience with the McCoy levering laryngoscope in 48 patients who were a Cormack and Lehane grade 3 or grade 4 view at direct laryngoscopy. The view with the blade in neutral position was grade 3 in 39 patients and grade 4 in nine patients.

Evaluation of Ultrasound Guided Measurement of Anterior Neck Soft Tissue Thickness in Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy in Obese Patients

Archives of Anesthesia and Critical Care, 2021
Background: The incidence of unanticipated difficult airway is 14.3-17.5% in obese. Preoperative difficult airway prediction is important to avoid postoperative morbidity and mortality. USG guided measurement of anterior neck soft tissue thickness can be

MANDIBULOHYOID DISTANCE IN DIFFICULT LARYNGOSCOPY

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1993
We studied radiographically 11 patients in whom direct laryngoscopy proved difficult and 100 control (general population) subjects. The vertical distance between the mandible and the hyoid bone (mandibulohyoid distance) was measured and the positions of the mandibular angle and hyoid bone determined in relation to the cervical vertebrae.

Ultrasound measurement of laryngeal structures in the parasagittal plane for the prediction of difficult laryngoscopies in Chinese adults

BMC Anesthesiology, 2020
Background Abnormal laryngeal structures are likely to be associated with a difficult laryngoscopy procedure. Currently, laryngeal structures can be measured by ultrasonography, however, little research has been performed on the potential role of ...

Do conventional predictors of “Difficult airway” truly predict difficult airway? Experience with cleft surgeries

Sri Lanka Journal of Medicine, 2021
Background: We designed this prospective observational study in order to evaluate whether conventional predictors of “Difficult airway” truly predict difficult airway in patients who present for cleft surgeries at Cleft Centre Peradeniya.

Use of Simple Clinical Predictors on Preoperative Diagnosis of Difficult Endotracheal Intubation in Obese Patients

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2013
Background and objectives: Although the incidence of difficult laryngoscopy is similar in obese and non-obese patients, there are more reports of difficult intubation in obese individuals.

Difficult laryngoscopy made easy with a “BURP” [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, 1993
Displacement of the larynx by backward, upward and rightward pressure on the thyroid cartilage or "BURP" may improve visualization of the glottis in some cases of difficult direct laryngoscopy. In a patient with the Treacher-Collins syndrome in whom conventional laryngoscopy had proved impossible and tracheal intubation extremely difficult, this ...
