Predictive factors for difficult mask ventilation in the obese surgical population
Background Difficult Mask Ventilation (DMV), is a situation in which it is impossible for an unassisted anesthesiologist to maintain oxygen saturation >90% using 100% oxygen and positive pressure ventilation to prevent or reverse signs of inadequate ventilation during mask ventilation. The incidence varies from 0.08 - 15%. Patient-related anatomical features are by far the most significant cau...
متن کاملDifficult mask ventilation in general surgical population: observation of risk factors and predictors
BACKGROUND There are few predictors of difficult mask ventilation and a simple, objective, predictive system to identify patients at risk of difficult mask ventilation does not currently exist. We present a retrospective - subgroup analysis aimed at identifying predictive factors for difficult mask ventilation (DMV) in patients undergoing pre-operative airway assessment before elective surgery ...
متن کاملDifficult 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...

To the Editor:-As a bearded anesthetist, 1 was interested to read the solution of Drs. Johnson, Bradway, and Blood to the problem of good mask ventilation in the presence of an hirsute face.' 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 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...
