Incidence and predictors of difficult and impossible mask ventilation.
BACKGROUND Mask ventilation is an essential element of airway management that has rarely been studied as the primary outcome. The authors sought to determine the incidence and predictors of difficult and impossible mask ventilation. METHODS A four-point scale to grade difficulty in performing mask ventilation (MV) is used at the authors' institution. They used a prospective, observational stu...
متن کاملPrediction and outcomes of impossible mask ventilation: a review of 50,000 anesthetics.
BACKGROUND There are no existing data regarding risk factors for impossible mask ventilation and limited data regarding its incidence. The authors sought to determine the incidence, predictors, and outcomes associated with impossible mask ventilation. METHODS The authors performed an observational study over a 4-yr period.

متن کاملImpossible mask ventilation after an unusually low dose fentanyl-induced muscle rigidity in a patient with essential tremor: a case report and review of the literature.
Although opioid-induced muscle rigidity occurs more commonly with large doses and rapid administration of the drugs, there is a number of cases reported, where muscle rigidity was experienced with lower doses of opioids. We present and discuss a case of muscle rigidity induced by an unusually low dose of fentanyl as primary agent during induction of anesthesia. A 79 year old male patient, sched...
متن کاملTilt Table Practice Improved Ventilation in a Patient with Prolonged Artificial Ventilation Support in Intensive Care Unit
Patients who are on prolonged ventilator support in critical care unit present wide variety of complications, which range from reduction in oxygen uptake to various musculoskeletal impair-ments. Early mobilization and rehabilitation are encouraged to manage these complications effectively. Use of tilt table to motivate early mobilization in the intensive care unit for ventilator practices is no...
