Upper Lip Bite Test with Thyromental, Sternomental and Interincisor distance in predicting difficult intubation.: a comparative study
Background: Difficult intubation (DI), often unexpected, remains a primary concern for anesthesiologists. The purpose of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of ULBT with sternomental, thyromental and interincisor distances in predicting difficult intubation. Methods: In a prosp...
