Moreover, maximum mouth-opening produced an inspiratory airflow limitation at atmosphere that was eliminated when nasal pressure was adjusted to 4.3 +/- 2.7 cm H2O. We conclude that maximal mouth-opening increases upper-airway collapsibility, which contributes to at atmosphere during sedation. 展开 ...
However, in our case LMA could not be used because of severe limitation of mouth opening. In addition, the LMA is so bulky that it is impossible to insert a LMA into patients with narrow airway anatomy. We initially planned to carry out fiber-optic intubation while awake and under sedation...

We tested the hypothesis that a two-handed airway maneuver, consisting of mandibular advancement and mouth opening in the neutral neck position, would minimize changes in the angle of the cervical vertebrae at the C0/4 level and tidal volume in non-obese patients under anesthesia with ...

Eighty adult patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I and II, aged 18-65 years, admitted to our neurosurgical ward were enrolled and assessed for airway. Our study revealed that change in posture produced a significant change in the mouth openings and Mallampati ...
