Management of the difficult Airway
The appropriate airway management is the important point during the anesthesia. For it dose, ‎taking history, physical examination (head and neck, mandible, mouth opening, neck ‎movements …) must be done completely and they are helpful in estimating difficult ‎intubation.‎ It is necessary to note that one case from every ‎‏5000‏‎ cases of anesthesia, not o...
متن کاملClinical application of acoustic reflectometry in predicting the difficult airway.
UNLABELLED Acoustic reflectometry, a noninvasive test that produces a length versus cross-sectional area map of the airway, has been used to identify difficult-to-tracheally intubate patients in a small retrospective case-control study. A critical airway volume of 40.2 mL separated those patients whose tracheas were impossible to intubate from those who were easily intubated. To determine if th...
متن کاملThe diagnostic validity of clinical airway assessments for predicting difficult laryngoscopy using a grey zone approach
OBJECTIVES The diagnostic validity of clinical airway assessment tests for predicting difficult laryngoscopy in patients requiring endotracheal intubation were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and a grey zone approach. METHODS In this prospective observational study, patients were evaluated during a pre-anaesthetic visit. Predictive airway assessment test...
متن کاملPredicting difficult airway in apparently normal adult and pediatric patients.
UNLABELLED The aim of the study was to determine the predicting tests for difficult airway and difficult intubation in apparently normal patients. METHODS We were using the literature about the specific tests for predicting difficult airway and single parameters that could be a significant test for prediction of difficult or impossible intubation. Clinical risk factors for difficult intubatio...
متن کاملThe Physiologically Difficult Airway
Airway management in critically ill patients involves the identification and management of the potentially difficult airway in order to avoid untoward complications. This focus on difficult airway management has traditionally referred to identifying anatomic characteristics of the patient that make either visualizing the glottic opening or placement of the tracheal tube through the vocal cords ...
