Lung Physiology and Obesity: Anesthetic Implications for Thoracic Procedures
Anesthesiology Research and Practice, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Obesity is a worldwide health problem affecting 34% of the American population. As a result, more patients requiring anesthesia for thoracic surgery will be overweight or obese. Changes in static and dynamic respiratory mechanics, upper airway anatomy, as well as multiple preoperative comorbidities and altered drug metabolism, characterize obese ...

A Study To Evaluate Neck Circumference To Thyromental Distance Ratio To Predict Difficult Intubation In Patients Scheduled For Elective Surgeries Under General Anaesthesia [PDF]
Background: 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 ...

Mallampati score in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders: A pilot case‐control study
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 10, Issue 2, April 2024.Abstract Objectives Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is defined as any functional abnormalities in different parts of the face and neck. The Mallampati index is an indicator for determining the extent of airway blockage. No study has examined the relationship between TMD and Mallampati score.
