Abstract

Background: Up bite test is a new method for predicting DIFFICULT INTUBATIONS. The purpose of this study was to compare the lip bite test with both CORMACK as a gold standard and THYROMENTAL DISTANCE.Material and methods: 350 patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgeries were included in a prospective observational double blind study. All the cases were older than 16. Patients with head and neck diseases such as trauma, tumors, movement limitations and bum history were excluded. The lip bite tests CORMACK and THYROMENTAL DISTANCE were determined in all patients by an anesthesiologist with experience of at least 3 years work. Induction of anesthesia was the same for all groups. Results: Patients with ULB Tgrade 3. or CORMACK grade of 3 and 4 or THYROMENTAL DISTANCE of less than 4 cm were predicted as DIFFICULT INTUBATIONS sensitivity specificity and accuracy of THYROMENTAL DISTANCE less than 4 cm for predicting DIFFICULT INTUBATIONS were 55%, 88%, 86%, Vs. 70%, 93%. 92% for UBLT. There were statistically significant differences for specificity (p<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences for sensitivity and accuracy.Conclusion: UBLT is more specific and much simpler than THYROMENTAL DISTANCE for predicting DIFFICULT INTUBATIONS.
