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.

Transoral Ultrasound in the Diagnostic Workup of Peritonsillar Abscess—A Randomized Clinical Trial

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Peritonsillar abscess frequently mimics peritonsillar cellulitis, exposing many patients to unnecessary and often painful blind needle aspirations. In this multicenter randomized clinical trial of 95 patients, adding transoral ultrasound to standard examination reduced needle aspiration attempts by nearly one third.

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

Identifying Velopharyngeal Dysfunction in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We evaluated the clinical presentation and treatment patterns of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) following head and neck cancer therapy across three academic institutions. VPD demonstrated a highly variable and delayed onset, with radiation‐associated cases developing after a mean of 8.5 years and many patients presenting more than 10 years after ...

The Application of Airtraq (fibreoptic intubation device) to Otolaryngology

Online Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, 2011
The anaesthetic laryngoscope Airtraq is designed for the difficult airway. This disposable laryngoscope requires minimal cervical manipulation and unlike other common anaesthetic larynmgoscopes contains a channel for the guidance of an endotracheal tube.

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.

Invention of the Flexible Fiberoptic Nasopharyngolaryngoscope: Perspectives From the East

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscope was developed in 1967 by Drs. Masayuki Sawashima, Hajime Hirose, and Osamu Fujimura at the University of Tokyo's Research Institute of Logopedics and Phoniatrics (RILP), building on Dr. Shigeto Ikeda's 1962 fiberoptic bronchoscope during Japan's postwar surge in technological innovation.

Congenital Intraoral Synechiae: A Scoping Review of Airway, Feeding, and Surgical Management

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To map the existing literature on congenital intraoral synechiae and summarize reported anatomic patterns, clinical presentation, associated anomalies/syndromes, and outcomes to inform standardized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Data Sources PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched from January

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 ...
