ANATOMICAL FACTORS IN DIFFICULT DIRECT LARYNGOSCOPY

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1975
The anatomical factors in difficult direct laryngoscopy have been assessed. Thirteen patients in whom direct laryngoscopy proved difficult and thirteen control patients, all with teeth, had lateral, postero-anterior and submento-vertical radiographs taken. Several measurements were made and compared.

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

Evaluation of Thyromental Height Test for Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy in Morbid Obese Patients Candidate for Bariatric Surgery: An Observational Study

Acta Medica Iranica, 2023
Upper airway management in morbid obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery is a major challenge during induction of anesthesia. Bed side Thyromental Height Test (TMHT) is an easy and valid predictor for prediction of difficult airway in non‑obese ...

Development and validation of a regression model with nomogram for difficult video laryngoscopy in Chinese population: a prospective, single-center, and nested case-control study

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundAirway management failure is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality. Airway-related complications can be significantly reduced if difficult laryngoscopy is predicted with high accuracy.
