Unexpected, difficult laryngoscopy: a prospective survey in routine general surgery.
A prospective study of unexpected, difficult laryngoscopy was carried out. During a 7-month period, all general surgery patients in whom the trachea was intubated were assessed; only those with obvious neck pathology were excluded. Ease or difficulty of laryngoscopy was graded by a standard method. There were no grade 4 cases and no failed intubations in a total of 1387 cases. There were signif...
متن کاملMandibulohyoid distance in difficult laryngoscopy.
We studied radiographically 11 patients in whom direct laryngoscopy proved difficult and 100 control (general population) subjects. The vertical distance between the mandible and the hyoid bone (mandibulohyoid distance) was measured and the positions of the mandibular angle and hyoid bone determined in relation to the cervical vertebrae. We found that the mandibulohyoid distance was substantial...
متن کاملDifficult face-mask ventilation and difficult laryngoscopy.
To the Editor: Our thanks are due to Kheterpal et al. 1 for another valuable addition to our understanding of airway management during anesthesia. Their work suggests that provided we exclude the patients with obvious abnormalities, we will find that the incidence of the combination of difficult mask ventilation (DMV) and difficult laryngoscopy (DL) is infrequent but not rare (0.4%), and the ou...
متن کامل[Difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation: observational study].
INTRODUCTION Since anesthesia complications associated with unexpected difficult airway are potentially catastrophic, they should be avoided. The modified Mallampati test and jaw-thrust maneuver enable the identification of difficult airway. The aim of this study was to associate the modified Mallampati test and the jaw-thrust maneuver with laryngoscopy (Cormack-Lehane) in an attempt to identif...
متن کاملComparison Upper Lip Bite Test and Mallampati Test in the Prediction of Difficult Laryngoscopy
Background and Objective: Intubation is the most common method for the management of the upper airway in general anesthesia. In this regard, the prediction of the ease or difficulty of intubation is of paramount importance for the anesthesia team. The main cause of anesthesia-related mortality is failed airway management. The present study aimed to compare the accuracy of the upper lip bite (UL...
