Encountering unexpected difficult airway: relationship with the intubation difficulty scale
BACKGROUND An unexpected difficult intubation can be very challenging and if it is not managed properly, it may expose the encountered patient to significant risks. The intubation difficulty scale (IDS) has been used as a validated method to evaluate a global degree of intubation difficulty. The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of unexpected difficult intub...
متن کاملPredictors of difficult intubation defined by the intubation difficulty scale (IDS): predictive value of 7 airway assessment factors
BACKGROUND The intubation difficulty scale (IDS) has been used as a validated difficulty score to define difficult intubation (DI). The purpose of this study is to identify airway assessment factors and total airway score (TAS) for predicting DI defined by the IDS. METHODS There were 305 ASA physical status 1-2 patients, aged 19-70 years, who underwent elective surgery with endotracheal intub...
متن کاملTracheal shift causing difficulty in air entry confirmation after tracheal intubation.
A 40-YR-OLD man presented for excision of recurrent pituitary adenoma. Medical history included pulmonary tuberculosis. On chest auscultation, diminished air entry in the left axillary and supra-/infraclavicular areas were observed. Chest radiogram demonstrated evidence of collapse and/or fibrosis of most of the left lung and significant ipsilateral tracheal and mediastinal shift (fig. A). Afte...
متن کاملCan an airway assessment score predict difficulty at intubation in the emergency department?
AIM To assess whether an airway assessment score based on the LEMON method is able to predict difficulty at intubation in the emergency department. METHODS Patients requiring endotracheal intubation in the resuscitation room of a UK teaching hospital between June 2002 and September 2003 were assessed on criteria based on the LEMON method. At laryngoscopy, the Cormack and Lehane grade was reco...
متن کاملUnexpected difficulty in ventilating the lungs after tracheal intubation -A case report-
We experienced difficulty in ventilating the lungs of a patient after tracheal intubation. After intubation, an insufficient amount of tidal volume (V(T)) was delivered to the patient and the fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination identified partial abutment of the endotracheal tube (ETT) orifice against the tracheal wall. After various attempts to correctly place the ETT, a double-lumen endotrac...
