Objective: To compare the laryngoscopic view and the hemodynamic changes by using flexitip McCoy laryngoscope with Macintosh laryngoscope. Method: Study design-Prospective randomized controlled study. A total of 220 patients were included in the study, Patients were allocated on the basis of their airway anatomy in to two groups, one is predicted easy group and the other one was predicted diffi...

maximizing economic earnings is the most common goal in cut-off grade optimization of open-pit mining operations. when this is the case, the price of the product has a critical effect on optimum value of cut-off grade. this paper investigates the relationship between optimum cut-off grade and price to maximize total cash flow and net percent value (npv) of operation. in order to visualize this ...

Introduction: Difficult intubation is an emergency situation that anaesthetist come across frequently. It a frequent cause of mortality in practice anesthesia. Mallampati classification (MPC) the oropharyngeal structures simple test to assess anticipated difficult airway for endotracheal intubation. thyromental height (TMH) now also commonly used predict Objective: To evaluate diagnostic accura...

Mallampati et al, proposed a grading system to anticipate difficult intubation, which considers visualization of faucial pillars, soft palate and base of uvula. 4 The upper lip bite test (ULBT) was proposed as a simple bed side technique by Khan et al, which involves the assessment of jaw subluxation and presence of buck teeth. 9 Savva et al, proposed sternomental distance (distance from the su...

Bony exostoses such as mandibular tori are fairly common. They are asymptomatic, benign cortical bony protuberances occurring along the lingular aspect of the mandible. Large tori may interfere with direct laryngoscopy resulting in difficult intubation. This is a case report about a 66 year old, Caucasian male with a Mallampati class I airway who was un-intubatable initially, due to the presenc...
