Thyromental Height Test as a New Method for Prediction of Difficult Intubation in Obese Patients

NCT04439487 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 300

Last updated 2020-06-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main objective of this trial is to assess the clinical usefulness of thyromental height test (TMHT) in prediction of difficult intubation in obese patients scheduled for elective surgical procedures. The secondary aim is to evaluate usefulness of other commonly used predictive tests associated with difficult intubation in obese patients.

Conditions

  • Intubation, Intratracheal
  • Obesity
  • Predictive Value of Tests

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Anthropometric measurements during routine preoperative visit

During routine preoperative anaesthetic visit and physical examination the following predictive test measurements are obtained by a research team member not involved in the further assessment of laryngoscopy: score in modified Mallampati test, Thyromental height, Sternomental distance, Thyromental distance, Neck circumference, Mouth opening distance

OTHER

Assesment of intubation parameters during induction of general anaesthesia

During induction of general anaesthesia and intubation research team member not involved in obtaining anthropometric measurements notes Number of intubation attempts, Intubation time, Subjective intubation difficulty, Use of bougie and Need of technique modification.
