Background The unanticipated difficult airway is a potentially life‐threatening event during
anaesthesia or acute conditions. An unsuccessfully managed upper airway is associated …

Although bedside screening tests are routinely used to identify people at high risk of having
a difficult airway, their clinical utility is unclear. We estimated the diagnostic accuracy of …

Background: Various anatomical measurements and noninvasive clinical tests, singly or in
various combinations can be performed to predict difficult intubation. Upper lip bite test …

Purpose: To describe the correlation between clinically measured hyomental distance ratio
(HMDRclin) and the ultrasound measurement (HMDRecho) in patients with and without …

The incidence of difficulties related to airway intubation is low (1%–5.8%), 1–3 but failure to
secure an airway can have serious consequences, including death, brain injury, and …

Background The goal of this study was to assess the value of the 3-3 rule and the 3-3-1 rule
in predicting difficult airways. Methods The authors conducted an observational study over a …

Objetivo: evaluar la concordancia entre el Índice predictivo de intubación difícil (IPID) y el
Cormack respecto al diagnóstico de intubación difícil en pacientes intervenidos de …

The thyromental height test (TMHT) has been proposed as a novel single clinical test for
predicting difficult laryngoscopy (DL), though consequent studies have put forward various …

The hyomental distance ratio (HMDR) is the ratio between the hyomental distance
