Background: The bevel position of tracheal tube (TT) affects the success rate while using intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA). present study compared intubation on basis anterior and posterior conventional polyvinylchloride (PVC) through an ILMA. Methods: Two hundred adult ASA I or II patients, having Mallampati class 1 2 airway, undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were inc...

Moderately accurate, depending on which tool you use. Questionnaires, physical examination, and clinical prediction rules estimate the pretest probability of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), but are not specific enough to make the diagnosis. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a reliable measure of daytime sleepiness. The Berlin Questionnaire, Mallampati score, and truncal obesity...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare clinical screening tests (modified Mallampati score, Cormack-Lehane score, thyromental distance, and sternomental distance) with ultrasonic measurements of the upper airway in predicting difficult intubation in pregnant women whose Body Mass Index (BMI) is higher and lower than 30 kg m-2. METHODS This study was designed as a prospective observati...
