The evaluation of maximum condyle-tragus distance can predict difficult airway management without exposing upper respiratory tract: a prospective observational study
2020-12-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Routine preoperative methods to assess airway such as the interincisor distance(IID), Mallampati classification, and the upper lip bite test(ULBT) have a certain risk of upper respiratory tract exposure and virus spread. The condyle-tragus maximal distance(C-TMD) can be used to assess the airway, and the assessment method does not require the patient to expose the upper respiratory tract, but...
