Assessment of Tracheal Intubation Grading
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this prospective study, one hundred adult patients, fifty in each group were assessed before operation, using the modified mallampati test in Group-A and mallampati & measurement of Thyromental Distance (TMD) in Group-B. The groups were matched for age (P=0.539), Sex (P=0.688), weight (P=0.077), and ASA physical status (P=0.436). Total number of patients facing difficulties during intubation are significantly higher in the Group-A (18 in Group-A and 10 in Group-B) (p =0.001). The measured sensitivity and specificity in Group-A are 65% and 25% respectively. On the other hand, the sensitivity, specificity in Group-B are 75% & 60%. So, the combination of Thyromental Distance and Mallampati test may be done as screening test during preoperative visit which may present fatal consequences of difficult and or failed intubation.

Background: The major responsibility of an anesthesiologist is to provide adequate respiration for the patient. The most vital element in providing functional respiration is the airway. No anesthetic is safe unless diligent efforts are devoted to maintaining an intact functional airway. Difficult intubation had been classified into four grades, according to the view obtainable at laryngoscopy b...

BACKGROUND A variety of videolaryngoscopes with angulated blade have been recently introduced into clinical practice. They provide an indirect view of the glottic structures in normal and challenging clinical settings. Despite the very good visualization of the laryngeal structures by these devices, the insertion and advancement of the endotracheal tube may be prolonged and occasionally fail as...

Background: Prolonged endotracheal intubation is a growing method for supporting ventilation in patients who require intensive care. Despite considerable advancement in endotracheal intubation, this method still has some complications the most important is laryngo-tracheal injuries. Methods: Over a 2-year period, this retrospective study was conducted on 57 patients with hist...
متن کاملA comparison of the upper lip bite test with hyomental/thyrosternal distances and mandible length in predicting difficulty in intubation: A prospective study
The incidence of difficulty in tracheal intubation has been reported to range from 0.5 to 18% in patients undergoing surgery. We aimed to elucidate the role of upper lip bite test (ULBT) with other prevailing tests, hyomental/thyrosternal distances (HMD/TSD), and the mandible length (ML) and their possible correlation in predicting difficulty in intubation. After institutional approval and info...
