Clinical Case of Unanticipated Obligate Difficult Intubation in Patient and Modern Ultrasound Method for Its Detection

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Endotracheal intubation is one of the most important skills of an anesthesiologist-resuscitator in ensuring airway patency during general anesthesia nd intensive care. The occurrence of unanticipated difficult intubation is associated with a risk to the life of patients, therefore an objective quantitative preoperative assessment of the respiratory tract is necessary in order to avoid this problem. In this clinical case, modern ultrasound diagnostics of difficult intubation is described, which may turn out to be a more promising and more accurate method compared to the standard modified Mallampati scale.
