Evaluation of thyromental height test in prediction of difficult airway in obese surgical patients: An observational study
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Thyromental height test (TMHT) has revealed good potentials for predicting difficult laryngoscopy view (DLV) in non-obese patients, but its accuracy in obese patients is not evident. This study aimed to assess the validity of TMHT as a predictor of DLV in obese surgical patients...
