STOP-BANG and Cephalometry in Prediction of Difficult Airway in Patients at Risk of OSA

NCT03105388 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 41

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Incidence of difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation are higher among patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Precision in making the diagnosis and predicting difficult laryngoscopy preoperatively may help to reduce anesthetic complications. This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of combined and non-combined radiological parameter (mandibulohyoid distance) and STOP-BANG questionnaire as screening tool.

.

Methodology:

Forty-one subjects who were at risk of OSA, undergoing general anaesthesia will be included using STOP-BANG questionnaire. Mandibulohyoid distance and other radiological parameters will be measured from lateral cephalometry. Evaluation for difficult laryngoscopy will be carried out during anaesthesia.
