Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy by Ultrasound Quantification of Anterior Neck Soft Tissue Thickness-A Prospective Observational Study

, 2023
Introduction: Difficult airway can possess a challenge to intubation and deciding role in morbidity and mortality. Hence, at these times Ultrasonography (USG) can play a vital role in the prediction of a difficult airway.

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

Comparison of Direct Laryngoscopy and Video Laryngoscopy Success After Standardized Manikin Training in Medical Students [PDF]

Objective: Endotracheal intubation is essential for emergency airway management, assisting ventilation and oxygenation by allowing airway patency. As an alternative to direct laryngoscopy (DL), the use of video laryngoscopy (VL) is now advocated by many ...

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.

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.

Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Enables Primary Tumor Localization and Treatment De‐Escalation in SCCUP: A Case Report

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Unknown primary cancer in the head and neck presents a difficult surgical treatment dilemma. Patients with squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary (SCCUP) typically present with an enlarging neck mass found on biopsy but with no indication of primary site on diagnostic exams such as flexible laryngoscopy, CT, MRI, and/or PET/CT ...
