Highlights
ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to compare the acromioaxillo-suprasternal notch index (AASI), the ratio of height to thyromental distance (RHTMD) and the upper-lip-bite test (ULBT) to predict difficult laryngeal visualization preoperatively
Unanticipated difficult or failed intubation put anaesthesiologists in a scary situation of lifethreatening complications such as hypoxic brainAcromio-axillo suprasternal notch efficacy of acromioaxillo-suprasternal notch index (AASI) for assessing difficult laryngoscopy as an objective and comparing AASI with ratio of height to thyromental distance (RHTMD) and upper-lip-bite test (ULBT) as a secondary objective
AASI to be superior to the RHTMD and the ULBT in the prediction of difficult visualization of the larynx
