Comparison Upper Lip Bite Test and Mallampati Test in the Prediction of Difficult Laryngoscopy
Background and Objective: Intubation is the most common method for the management of the upper airway in general anesthesia. In this regard, the prediction of the ease or difficulty of intubation is of paramount importance for the anesthesia team. The main cause of anesthesia-related mortality is failed airway management. The present study aimed to compare the accuracy of the upper lip bite (UL...
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 کاملEthnicity and upper airway measurements: A study in South Indian population
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Most studies on upper airway are conducted based on airway measurements in the western population. We set out to find the normal values of upper airway measurements in South Indian population. The aim of this study was to perform various upper airway examinations and to set standards for normal measurements in the South Indian population as well as to analyse the data for pr...
متن کاملModified Mallampati test and thyromental distance as a predictor of difficult laryngoscopy in Thai patients.
BACKGROUND Preoperative evaluation of anatomical landmarks and clinical factors are important in the detection of patients at risk for difficult laryngoscopy. The modified Mallampati test (MMT) and thyromental distance (TMD) are commonly used for this purpose but there are controversies regarding their accuracy. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of MMT ...
متن کاملMallampati class, obesity, and a novel airway trajectory measurement to predict difficult laryngoscopy.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine whether Mallampati class correlates with Cormack-Lehane grade in obese adults, and investigate a novel airway trajectory measurement (ATM) to anticipate difficult laryngoscopy. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort plus a pilot study. METHODS One hundred eighty-four nonobese and 160 obese adults underwent laryngoscopy. Spearman correlations, gamma coefficients...
