Predictive value of upper lip bite test and ratio of height to thyromental distance compared to other multivariate airway assessment tests for difficult laryngoscopy in apparently normal patients

BACKGROUND: Various anatomical measurements and non-invasive clinical tests, singly or in various combinations can be performed to predict difficult intubation. Recently introduced “Upper lip bite test” (ULBT) and “Ratio of height to Thyromental distance” (RHTMD) are claimed to have high predictabil...
