Determinants of mask ventilation grading based on upper airway indicators: a prospective observational study [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiology
Background Mask ventilation is a common procedure performed in the patients with general anesthesia. Various factors that can influence airways were evaluated to determine the potential value of upper airway indicators in predicting mask ventilation ...

Prevalence and bedside predictors of difficult direct laryngoscopy among 3,080 adult elective surgical patients at a Cambodian tertiary center: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiology
Background Failure to anticipate difficult direct laryngoscopy (DDL) leads to catastrophic airway events. While prediction tools have been developed primarily in European and North American cohorts, evidence from Southeast Asia—particularly in settings ...

The predictive value of the ratio of neck circumference to thyromental distance in comparison with four predictive tests for difficult laryngoscopy in obstetric patients scheduled for caesarean delivery

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2014
Background: Preoperative assessment of anatomical landmarks andclinical factors help detect potentially difficult laryngoscopies. The aim of the present study was to compare the ability to predict difficult visualization of the larynx from thefollowing ...

Comparison of Neck Circumference to Thyromental Distance as A Predictor of Difficulty Visualizing The Larynx in Elective Surgery Patients At Haji Adam Malik General Hospital

JAI (Jurnal Anestesiologi Indonesia)
Background: Airway management is the responsibility of anesthesiologists, but clinical assessment documentation is often incomplete. Difficult laryngoscopy and intubation occur in 1% to 15% of cases.

Evaluation of bedside tests and proposal of a model for predicting difficult laryngoscopy: an observational prospective study [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2020
Background and objectives: The prediction of difficult laryngoscopy is based on tests that assess anatomic characteristics of face and neck. We aimed to identify the most accurate tests and propose a multivariate predictive model.

Relevance of ratio of neck circumference to thyromental distance in predicting difficult intubation

International journal of health sciences, 2022
Background and Objectives: Airway assessment is the most important aspect of anaesthetic practice as a difficult intubation may be unanticipated. A study was done to know the relevance of ratio of neck circumference to thyromental distance in predicting difficult intubation in general Indian population coming for surgery.
