Predicting difficult laryngoscopy in morbidly obese Thai patients by ultrasound measurement of distance from skin to epiglottis: a prospective observational study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2022
Background In morbidly obese patients, airway management is challenging since the incidence of difficult intubation is three times than those with a BMI within the healthy range.

Histological observations of age-related changes in the epiglottis associated with decreased deglutition function in older adults

Anatomy & Cell Biology, 2023
Although the epiglottis plays a vital role in deglutition, histological studies of the epiglottis and surrounding ligaments associated with swallowing dysfunction are limited.

Laryngospasm Complicating Awake Nasal Intubation in Ludwig's Angina. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
Axial and sagittal contrast‐enhaced computed tomography images demonstrating Ludwig's angina with mild supraglottic edema. Even minimal laryngeal inflammation can precipitate laryngospasm during awake airway management. ABSTRACT A 64‐year‐old man with Ludwig's angina developed laryngospasm during awake fiberoptic intubation despite mild supraglottic ...

Surgical treatment of epiglottis collapse in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: epiglottis stiffening operation

Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica, 2019
SUMMARY The epiglottis is an important structure that was largely ignored in early research on obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS). Primary epiglottis collapse (EC) in patients with OSAHS is difficult to treat with conservative therapies,
