Retrograde tracheal intubation.

29 Sep 2009 Summary Successful management of difficult tracheal intubation by retrograde intubation has been reported for almost 50 years and can be used whether or not it is anticipated. There are numerous reports of variations to the basic technique to ... Read more...

The diagnostic value of the upper lip bite test combined with sternomental distance, thyromental distance, and interincisor distance for prediction of easy laryngoscopy and intubation: a prospective study.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Accuracy of upper lip bite test (ULBT) has been compared with the Mallampati classification. In this study, we investigated whether the combination of the ULBT classification with sternomental distance (SMD), thyromental distance (TMD), ... Read more...

[Long-term histological outcome for the larynx after Gore-Tex medialization thyroplasty]

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES: We studied the long-term histological response of the human larynx to Gore-Tex implant and evaluated whether its biocompatibility. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective histological study. METHODS: We conducted medialization laryngoplasty with ... Read more...
