A comparative study of glottis visualization according to the method of lifting the epiglottis in video laryngoscopy: indirect and direct lifting methods [PDF]
Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2021 Background The direct entry of the camera under the epiglottis may provide a better view of the glottis than the indirect lifting of the epiglottis by placing the Macintosh blade tip on the vallecula when using the video laryngoscope. This study aimed to

Development of a Deep Learning-Based Epiglottis Obstruction Ratio Calculation System
Sensors, 2023 Surgeons determine the treatment method for patients with epiglottis obstruction based on its severity, often by estimating the obstruction severity (using three obstruction degrees) from the examination of drug-induced sleep endoscopy images.
