Difficult mask ventilation.
Mask ventilation is the most fundamental skill in airway management. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about difficult mask ventilation (DMV) situations. Various definitions for DMV have been used in the literature. The lack of a precise standard definition creates a problem for studies on DMV and causes confusion in data communication and comparisons. DMV develops because of m...
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...

Although they are correct in their assertion that it is a frequently encountered situation, they are incorrect in their statement that the only previously published solution has been to skive the patient p...
متن کاملPrediction of difficult mask ventilation.
BACKGROUND Maintenance of airway patency and oxygenation are the main objectives of face-mask ventilation. Because the incidence of difficult mask ventilation (DMV) and the factors associated with it are not well known, we undertook this prospective study. METHODS Difficult mask ventilation was defined as the inability of an unassisted anesthesiologist to maintain the measured oxygen saturati...
متن کاملDifficult Mask Ventilation and Neuromuscular Blockade
ent developmental time points after receptor agonism may explain whether this is an alteration in receptor signaling or changes in receptor expression with age. What does appear to be known is that p75 expression and signaling is not only temporally but also spatially dependent on some unknown intracellular mechanism. Studies to characterize p75 expression and its coupling with known partners (...
