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.
