A clinical sign to predict difficult tracheal intubation: a prospective study.
It has been suggested that the size of the base of the tongue is an important factor determining the degree of difficulty of direct laryngoscopy. A relatively simple grading system which involves preoperative ability to visualize the faucial pillars, soft palate and base of uvula was designed as a means of predicting the degree of difficulty in laryngeal exposure. The system was evaluated in 21...
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 کاملA new tracheal tube for difficult intubation.
We have compared a new Portex tracheal tube with the Oxford tube in performing simulated grade 3 difficult intubations. The Portex tube was modified so that the bevel faced backwards, as in the Oxford tube. A gum elastic introducer was used with both tubes. The time taken and number of attempts needed were recorded, with changes in arterial pressure, heart rate and incidence of sore throat. Bot...
متن کاملDifficult tracheal intubation in obstetrics.
Difficult intubation has been classified into four grades, according to the view obtainable at laryngoscopy. Frequency analysis suggests that, in obstetrics, the main cause of trouble is grade 3, in which the epiglottis can be seen, but not the cords. This group is fairly rare so that a proportion of anaesthetists will not meet the problem in their first few years and may thus be unprepared for...
متن کاملSevoflurane for difficult tracheal intubation.
Three patients in whom difficult tracheal intubation was expected but awake fibreoptic intubation was not feasible presented for head and neck surgery. Anaesthesia was induced rapidly and smoothly by inhalation of sevoflurane followed by fibreoptic or conventional tracheal intubation.
