The importance of increased neck circumference to intubation difficulties in obese patients.

, 2008
International audienceBACKGROUND: Using the intubation difficulty scale (IDS), we sought to confirm that obese patients are more difficult to intubate than lean patients. We assessed classical bedside tests and included neck circumference.

Ratio of height-to-thyromental distance and ratio of height-to-sternomental distance as predictors of laryngoscopic grade in children

, 2018
Background and Aims: Failure to secure the airway is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Children are often uncooperative for routine examination and pose problems for obtaining external measurements.

Neck Circumference and Mallampati Classification [PDF]

, 2017
Difficult and failed intubations contribute to morbidly and mortality in anesthesia practice. Mallampati is one of the most widely used airway assessments but research shows it is highly variable in its ability to predict difficult intubation.

Predictive value of upper lip bite test and ratio of height to thyromental distance compared to other multivariate airway assessment tests for difficult laryngoscopy in apparently normal patients

, 2013
Background: Various anatomical measurements and non-invasive clinical tests, singly or in various combinations can be performed to predict difficult intubation. Recently introduced "Upper lip bite test" (ULBT) and "Ratio of height to Thyromental distance"

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.
