Neck circumference to thyromental distance ratio: Is a reliable predictor of difficult intubation in obese patients?

Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia, 2019
Introduction: The present study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of neck circumference to thyromental distance (NC/TM) ratio to predict difficult intubation in obese patients on background of routinely practiced Modified Mallampati Classification (MMC). Materials and Methods: Total 60 obese patients (BMI ?

Use of ultrasound to predict difficult intubation in Chinese population by assessing the ratio of the pre‐epiglottis space distance and the distance between epiglottis and vocal folds

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 152-159, May 2018., 2018
Objective: To investigate the accuracy of using the ratio of pre‐epiglottis space distance (Pre‐E) and the distance between the epiglottis and the vocal folds (Pre‐E/E‐VF) measured by the ultrasound to predict potential difficult airway in the Chinese population. Design: A prospective clinical study. Setting: The pre‐operative assessment service clinic

The Prioritization of Clinical Risk Factors of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity Using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Recently, there has been a problem of shortage of sleep laboratories that can accommodate the patients in a timely manner. Delayed diagnosis and treatment may lead to worse outcomes particularly in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

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 ...

Anticipation of Difficult Airway by Neck Circumference to Thyromental Distance Ratio

Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences
INTRODUCTIONUnanticipated difficult intubation scenario is a major concern for anaesthetists which contributes to perioperative morbidity and mortality. Characteristics of difficult intubation indices like increased neck circumference (NC) and reduced thyromental distance (TM) when combined as a ratio can increase accuracy in predicting difficult ...

The Influence of Body Mass Index on the Adjustment of Supraglottic Airway Device in Lithotomy With Trendelenburg Position: A Prospective Observational Study

International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background This study aimed to compare different methods for adjusting the supraglottic airway device (SGA) to achieve adequate ventilation in patients with normal and high body mass index (BMI). Methods A total of 117 patients who were ≥ 20 years of age and scheduled to undergo general anesthesia under lithotomy with a 10° Trendelenburg position ...

Preoperative predictors of poor laryngoscope views in pediatric population undergoing cardiac catheterization

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2018
Background: The primary objective of this study was to identify pre-anesthetic airway assessment parameters that would predict Cormack and Lehane grade III and IV laryngoscopy views in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization procedures. The

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.

Neck circumference to inter-incisor gap ratio: a new predictor of difficult laryngoscopy in cervical spondylosis patients

BMC Anesthesiology, 2017
Background Preoperative airway assessment help anticipate a difficult airway. We hypothesized that a close association existed between difficult laryngoscopy and the neck circumference/inter-incisor gap ratio (RNIIG). Our aim was to determine its utility
