Predictors for Difficult Laryngeal Exposure in Suspension Laryngoscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: Our study made a comprehensive and systematic analysis of The DLE relevant factors. Gender, age, body mass index(BMI), neck circumference (NC), modified Mallampati's index(MMI), inter-incisor gap(IIG), hyoid-mental distance (HMD), thyroid-mental distance (TMD), sterno-mental distance (SMD), and flexion-extension angle were eventually identified as highly correlated factors for DLE.PMID:38659242 | DOI:10.21053/ceo.2023.00023 (Source: Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology)
