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.

Hemodynamic Response to Laryngoscopy and Intubation Using McCoy Laryngoscope: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2021
Introduction: Laryngoscopy and intubation are stressful as they lead to a rise in heart rate and blood pressure. Though transient, it may be detrimental to the cardiac and neurosurgical patients.

The Efficacy of Using Video Laryngoscopy on Tracheal Intubation by Novice Physicians [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2021
Introduction: The first successful attempt at tracheal intubation with minimal complications is crucial for emergency physicians. The aim of this study was to compare endotracheal intubation using video laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy in the ...

Airway management during ongoing chest compressions–direct vs. video laryngoscopy. A randomised manikin study

PLoS ONE, 2023
Background Tracheal intubation is used for advanced airway management during cardiac arrest, particularly when basic airway techniques cannot ensure adequate ventilation. However, minimizing interruptions of chest compressions is of high priority.

Video versus Direct Laryngoscopy for Tracheal Intubation of Critically Ill Adults.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2023
BACKGROUND Whether video laryngoscopy as compared with direct laryngoscopy increases the likelihood of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt among critically ill adults is uncertain. METHODS In a multicenter, randomized trial conducted at

Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adults undergoing tracheal intubation.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2022
BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation is a common procedure performed to secure the airway in adults undergoing surgery or those who are critically ill. Intubation is sometimes associated with difficulties and complications that may result in patient harm ...

A multicentre randomised controlled trial of the McGrath™ Mac videolaryngoscope versus conventional laryngoscopy

Anaesthesia, 2023
Before completion of this study, there was insufficient evidence demonstrating the superiority of videolaryngoscopy compared with direct laryngoscopy for elective tracheal intubation.

Evaluation of thyromental height as a predictor of difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation: a cross-sectional observational study

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2022
Background and objectives: Several anthropometric measurements have been suggested to identify a potentially difficult airway. We studied thyromental height (TMH) as a predictor of difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation.

Airway Ultrasound as Predictor of Difficult Direct Laryngoscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2021
BACKGROUND: Despite several clinical index tests that are currently applied for airway assessment, unpredicted difficult laryngoscopy may still represent a serious problem in anesthesia practice. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to

Useful Ultrasonographic Parameters to Predict Difficult Laryngoscopy and Difficult Tracheal Intubation—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Unexpected difficult airway management can cause significant morbidity and mortality in patients admitted for elective procedures. Ultrasonography is a promising tool for perioperative airway assessment, nevertheless it is still unclear which sonographic
