Inter-observer reproducibility of 15 tests used for predicting difficult intubation.
AIM To determine the inter-observer reproducibility of 15 tests used for predicting difficult tracheal intubation (DI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Following local ethics committee approval and informed consent, 101 volunteers were examined by two assessors using 15 tests for predicting DI. The two assessors who were blinded to the results of the other, examined each volunteer independently. Cohen's...
متن کاملPredicting difficult intubation.
The amount of larynx seen at intubation was assessed in 633 adult patients undergoing routine surgery. Various measurements of the head and neck were made in an attempt to discover which features were associated with difficulty with laryngoscopy (defined as the inability to see even the arytenoids). In addition 38 patients, reported by colleagues because they had been "difficult to intubate", w...
متن کاملPredicting Difficult Intubation in Emergency Department by Intubation Assessment Score
Background The difficult intubation is associated with failure of emergency tracheal intubation. This study aimed to develop and validate a model for predicting difficult intubation in emergency department (ED). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the ED. We collected data from all consecutive adult patients who underwent emergency tracheal intubation. Patients were excluded if t...
متن کاملInter-examiner reproducibility of tests for lumbar motor control
BACKGROUND Many studies show a relation between reduced lumbar motor control (LMC) and low back pain (LBP). However, test circumstances vary and during test performance, subjects may change position. In other words, the reliability--i.e. reproducibility and validity--of tests for LMC should be based on quantitative data. This has not been considered before. The aim was to analyse the reproducib...
متن کاملInter-examiner reproducibility of clinical tests and criteria used to identify subacromial impingement syndrome
Introduction A specific algorithm has been proposed for classifying impingement related shoulder pain in athletes with overhead activity. Data on the inter-examiner reproducibility of the suggested clinical tests and criteria and their mutual dependencies for identifying subacromial impingement symptoms (SIS) are not available. Objective To test the inter-examiner reproducibility of selected t...
