[Effectiveness of simplified predictive intubation difficulty score and thyromental height in head and neck surgeries: an observational study].

CONCLUSIONS: The current study demonstrates the practical use of the SPIDS in predicting intubation difficulty in patients with head and neck pathologies. The performance of the SPIDS in predicting airway difficulty was found to be as efficient as those of the other tests evaluated in this study. The SPIDS may be considered a comprehensive, detailed tool for predicting airway difficulty. PMID: 33187687 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
