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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Thyromental Height - As a Predictor of Difficult Laryngoscopy

Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International, 2021
The fundamental responsibility of the anaesthesiologist and one of the most important steps in anaesthesia practice is the intubation and maintenance of the airway. The integral part of pre-anaesthetic evaluation to recognize a potentially difficult airway is the airway assessment.
