Prediction of difficult intubation: are we talking about the same thing?

چکیده
PLMA, but we allowed the aspiration catheter to protrude 4 to 5 cm at the end of the drainage tube during insertion (Figure). The aspiration catheter acted as a guide, directing itself and the tip of the mask towards the upper esophageal sphincter. The catheter was easily advanced in the stomach where gastric fluid was aspirated. Subsequently, the catheter was removed and reinserted successfully, demonstrating that the PLMA and its drainage tube were correctly positioned, without obstruction.

Background: Failed endotracheal intubation is one of the principal causes of morbidity and mortality in anesthetized patients. If the anesthetist can anticipate which patients may be more difficult to intubate, can reduce the risks of anesthesia greatly and be more prepared for any difficulties that may occur. The aim of this study was to investigate the inability of patients to protrude the lo...

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...

Background and purpose: Background and Aim: Difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation is a major cause of morbidity and mortality during anesthesia. Its prediction is important for the anesthesiologists. Upper Lip Bite Test (ULBT) has been recently used. We aimed to evaluate ULBT, Interincisor distance (IID) and three fingers accuracy and their possible correlation to predicting difficulty...
