BACKGROUND Failure to maintain an adequate airway can lead to brain damage and death. To reduce the risk of difficulty in maintaining an airway during general anesthesia, there are several known predictors of difficult intubation. People with a Malay background have different craniofacial structures in comparison with other individuals. Therefore, different predictors should be used for patient...

BACKGROUND Preoperative evaluation of anatomical landmarks and clinical factors are important in the detection of patients at risk for difficult laryngoscopy. The modified Mallampati test (MMT) and thyromental distance (TMD) are commonly used for this purpose but there are controversies regarding their accuracy. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of MMT ...

Abstract Background Unanticipated difficult airway remains a challenge for the anesthesiologist with no established standard criteria to predict difficulty in intubation. Our aim was correlate pre-anesthetic ultrasonographic (USG) assessment parameters Cormack-Lehane (CL) grade at direct laryngoscopy view under general anaesthesia. This prospective, observational study on 150 adult patients bet...

BACKGROUND Airway management in the emergency room can be challenging when patients suffer from life-threatening conditions. Mental stress, ignorance of the patient's medical history, potential cervical injury or immobilisation and the presence of vomit and/or blood may also contribute to a difficult airway. Videolaryngoscopes have been introduced into clinical practice to visualise the airway ...

BACKGROUND The Bonfils intubating fiberscope has a limited upward tip angle of 40 degrees and requires retromolar entry into the hypopharynx. These factors may make its use less desirable when managing the difficult airway because most anesthesia providers are well versed in midline oral intubation rather than the lateral retromolar approach. The Center for Advanced Technology and Telemedicine ...

The study aims to analyze the epilogue of Lehane’s Mystic River. It employs syntactic approach, and it is qualitative in nature. Departing from fact that novel considered as a form creative writing, syntax with its analysis then enables researcher go deeper into understand use language. five sentences are studied find out how Lehane produces his clause types thematic relations novel. results yi...

Kiểm soát đường thở khó có thể dẫn đến giảm ôxy, tổn thương não thậm chí tử vong nếu không xử lý kịp thời. Phân loại Mallampati sửa đổi thường được dùng để dự đoán soi thanh quản (STQ)/ đặt nội khí khó. Nghiên cứu mô tả tiến cứu, mù đơn nhằm đánh giá vai trò của phân này trong STQ ở người lớn chỉ định phẫu thuật dưới gây mê quản. độ Lehane-Cormack 3 - 4 coi là Kết quả; tỉ lệ 8,2% (46/558). I, I...

INTRODUCTION Tracheal intubation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) can be challenging as patients often have anatomic and physiologic characteristics that make intubation particularly difficult. Video laryngoscopy (VL) has been shown to improve first attempt success compared to direct laryngoscopy (DL) in many clinical settings and may be an option for ICU intubations. METHODS All intubations ...

the present note arises from the author's talk at the conference ``ischia group theory 2014''. for subgroups $fle n$ of a group $g$ denote by $lat(f,n)$ the set of all subgroups of $n$, containing $f$. let $d$ be a subgroup of $g$. in this note we study the lattice $ll=lat(d,g)$ and the lattice $ll'$ of subgroups of $g$, normalized by $d$. we say that $ll$ satisfies sandwich classification theo...
