Airway Assessment : Predictors of Difficult Airway
Respiratory events are the most common anaesthetic related injuries, following dental damage. The three main causes of respiratory related injuries are inadequate ventilation, oesophageal intubation and difficult tracheal intubation. Difficult tracheal intubation accounts for 17% of the respiratory related injuries and results in significant morbidity and mortality. In fact up to 28% of all ana...
متن کاملManagement of the difficult Airway
The appropriate airway management is the important point during the anesthesia. For it dose, ‎taking history, physical examination (head and neck, mandible, mouth opening, neck ‎movements …) must be done completely and they are helpful in estimating difficult ‎intubation.‎ It is necessary to note that one case from every ‎‏5000‏‎ cases of anesthesia, not o...
متن کاملAnticipation of the difficult airway: preoperative airway assessment, an educational and quality improvement tool.
BACKGROUND Assessment of the potentially difficult airway (DA) is a critical aspect of resident education. We investigated the impact of a new assessment form on airway prediction and management by anaesthesia residents. We hypothesized that residents would demonstrate improvement in evaluation of DAs over the study duration. METHODS After IRB approval, anaesthesia residents were randomized i...
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 کاملPreoperative airway assessment: predictive value of a multivariate risk index.
Using readily available and objective airway risk criteria, a multivariate model for stratifying risk of difficult endotracheal intubation was developed and its accuracy compared to currently applied clinical methods. We studied 10,507 consecutive patients who were prospectively assessed prior to general anesthesia with respect to mouth opening, thyromental distance, oropharyngeal (Mallampati) ...
