Bedside prediction of airway length by measuring upper incisor manubrio-sternal joint length

Bedside prediction of airway length by measuring upper incisor manubrio-sternal joint length

Background: Malpositioning of endotracheal tube may lead to serious complications like endobronchial intubation or accidental extubation. Using anatomical measurements for prediction of airway length would be more practical in resource constrained settings. Materials and Methods: One hundred adult...
