Prediction of difficult tracheal intubations in thyroid surgery. Predictive value of neck circumference to thyromental distance ratio. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
IntroductionDifficult tracheal intubation (DTI) contributes to perioperative morbidity and mortality. There are conflicting study results about the most predictive DTI risk criteria in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.Materials and methodsWe conducted

A Comparative Study to Evaluate Difficult Intubation Using Ratio of Patient Height to Thyromental Distance, Ratio of Neck Circumference to Thyromental Distance and Thyromental Height in Adult Patients in Tertiary Care Centre [PDF]

Turkish Journal of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation, 2023
Patients' airway assessment is one of the foremost responsibility of every anaesthesiologist. Several preoperative predictive methods have been studied by various authors to find the best difficult airway predictor. We conducted this study to compare three methods to predict difficulty of laryngoscopic endotracheal intubation viz Ratio of patient ...

Evaluation of neck-circumference- thyromental- distance ratio as a predictor of difficult intubation: A prospective, observational study [PDF]

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2023
Background and Aims: Preoperative identification of difficult airway and subsequent planning is of utmost importance for a patient's safety. Previous studies have identified the ratio of the neck circumference (NC) to the thyromental distance (TMD); NC ...

Comparison of the Ratio of Neck Circumference to Thyromental Distance and the Ratio of Neck Circumference to Inter-Incisor Gap in Predicting Difficult Intubation [PDF]

Cureus
Background Airway management is central to anaesthetic practice, with endotracheal intubation pivotal in both elective and emergency settings. Although various assessment tests aim to predict a difficult airway, their predictive performance varies widely. Comparative evaluation is therefore required to identify the most reliable predictor.

Comparison of Neck Circumference at the Hyoid and Thyroid Levels, Neck Circumference to Thyromental Distance Ratio, and Hyomental Distance Ratio in Predicting Difficult Laryngeal Visualization in Obese and Non-Obese Populations [PDF]

Cureus
Several preoperative predictive factors for difficult visualization of the larynx (DVL) have been identified, and these factors have significant predictive value in the obese population. This prospective observational study was conducted to compare the predictive abilities of different airway predictors between obese and non-obese populations.Our study

A study of the neck circumference to thyromental distance ratio to predict difficult intubation in patients scheduled for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia

Вестник анестезиологии и реаниматологии
Introduction. A comprehensive airway assessment requires an understanding of the anatomical features of the neck and upper airway. Accurately predicting a potentially difficult airway is a multifactorial challenge, dependent on patient-related factors ...

Neck Circumference to Thyromental Distance Ratio [PDF]

Survey of Anesthesiology, 2011
This study was performed to assess whether intubation is more difficult in obese patients and to assess the ability of a new index: the ratio of the neck circumference to thyromental distance (NC/TM), to predict difficult intubation in obese patients.The incidence of difficult tracheal intubation in 123 obese (BMI≥27.5 kg m(-2)) and 125 non-obese ...

9: Evaluation of the neck circumference to thyromental distance ratio as a predictor of difficult intubation-A prospective observational study [PDF]

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2022
Background and Aims: Preoperative identification of difficult airway and subsequent planning is of utmost importance for patient safety. Previous studies have identified neck circumference to thyromental distance ratio (NC/TMD) as a reliable predictor of difficult intubation in obese patients.[1] But, there is lack of a ...
