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

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 ...

Predictive accuracy of intubation scores and parameters for double lumen tube placement in elective thoracic surgery: a prospective study [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiology
Background Standard predictors (Mallampati score, Wilson Risk Score, airway measurements) validated for single-lumen tubes might not apply to double-lumen tubes (DLT). The aim of this study is to evaluate whether these predictors can identify challenging
