Comparative evaluation of sternomental and hyomental distance–based dynamic airway indices for predicting difficult laryngoscopy in obese surgical patients: A prospective observational study
Obesity is associated with higher incidences of difficult laryngoscopy, and static airway predictors often underperform in this population. This study evaluated the accuracy of four dynamic airway indices: sternomental distance ratio and displacement (SMDR and SMDD), hyomental distance ratio (HMDR), and a novel i...
