Sternomental Displacement and Neck Circumference. A New Look for the Neck as a Difficult Airway Predictor in Obese Surgical Patients. A Cohort Study

2022-02-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Sternomental displacement (SMDD) is a surrogate indicator for cervical spine (C-spine) mobility. SMDD revealed good potentials to predict difficult airway, but its validity in obese patients is not evident. This study assessed the performance of SMDD with neck circumference (NC) in predicting difficult airway in obese surgical patients. Methods The study involved 135 adult patients with BMI...
