The Evaluation of Thyromental Height Test as a Single, Accurate Predictor of Difficult Laryngoscopy

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2020
Background: Thyromental Height Test is a relatively new, easy method considered as a more accurate predictor of difficult laryngoscopy than existing methods.

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 ...

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.

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.

Evaluation of Ultrasonography with Conventional Clinical Parameters for Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy

Archives of Anesthesia and Critical Care, 2023
Background: Unanticipated difficult intubation poses a challenge in routine practice for anaesthesiologists. A preoperative airway evaluation helps in the identification of a difficult airway.

Efficacy of Multimodal Work‐Up of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Lymph Node Metastasis of Unknown Primary

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) often presents with cervical lymph node metastasis, with 1%–4% of cases presenting as cancer of unknown primary (CUP). CUP poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and is linked to poorer survival outcomes.

Overnight Monitoring After T&A for Children Ages 24–36 Months: Is It Always Necessary?

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study aims to identify whether all children < 3 years of age require overnight admission after tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy. We found that 98.7% of children who were off oxygen within 3 h after surgery never went back on oxygen during the entire monitoring period.

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

A Novel Murine Model of Acute Laryngeal Injury After Intubation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study describes a novel murine model of acute laryngeal injury (ALgI) after intubation. Chemomechanical injury was performed to the posterior glottis of adult mice using a bleomycin‐dipped wire brush under endoscopic guidance, resulting in reduced glottic mobility, increased posterior glottic thickness, and increased collagen expression. This safe,
