Background: This study assesses the effectiveness of the GlideScope Videolaryngoscope (GS) in comparison with the Macintosh laryngoscope in a simulated difficult airway with blood in the airway and restricted range of motion of the neck. 39 participants experienced with the GS and the Macintosh laryngoscope were used. Methods: This analysis is a prospective, randomized, crossover study. Our stu...

BACKGROUND Accuracy of upper lip bite test (ULBT) has been compared with the Mallampati classification. In this study, we investigated whether the combination of the ULBT classification with sternomental distance (SMD), thyromental distance (TMD), and interincisor distance (IID) or a composite score can improve the ability to predict easy laryngoscopy and intubation compared with each test alon...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Vocal fold injury is a well-know complication of intubation, with rates reported as high as 69%. Laryngology textbooks recommend the use of a small endotracheal tube (ETT) to help avoid these complications and optimize visualization. Case reports have suggested that the rigid stylet can lead to laryngeal injury. Given the additional risks, intubation without the stylet is ...

Trên thế giới đã có nhiều nghiên cứu cho thấy đặt NKQ bằng đèn soi thanh quản video hỗ trợ mang lại tỉ lệ thành công cao hơn so với thông thường, giảm biến chứng trong nhất là khó. Ưu điểm của tối ưu hóa khả năng bộc lộ môn, trên những bệnh nhân đặc giải phẫu không thuận lợi nội khí thường. Chúng tôi tiến hành 74 được để đánh giá hiệu quả và khó khăn khi áp dụng kỹ thuật này. Kết 98,7%, đó lần ...

Airway Assessment is essential in pre anesthetic assessment. Anticipating and preparing for difficulty airway management crucial to avoid catastrophes. Routine operative examination usually includes mouth opening dentition, Mallampati classification, thyromental distance neck movements. Neck circumference a quick bedside test determine difficult laryngoscopy. Increased tongue thickness skin epi...

BACKGROUND Videolaryngoscopy has become increasingly attractive for the routine management of the difficult airway. Glidescope® is well studied in the literature while imago V-Blade® is a recent videolaryngoscope. This is a feasibility study with 1:1 case-control sequential allocation comparing Imago V-Blade ® and Glidescope® in predicted difficult airway settings. METHODS Two senior anesthes...

Introduction and Aims: Difficult laryngoscopy [poor visualisation of larynx] is a surrogate indicator difficult intubation inability to manage larynx (DVL) can be life threatening. This study performed assess the ability new index –Acromio -Axillo-Suprasternal Notch Index predict in patient undergoing general anaesthesia addition other common predictors. Material Methods: 100 patients with AS...
