PURPOSE: Preoperative evaluations of difficult airways are imperative, especially in newborns. The hyomental distance is a reliable index for predicting difficult airways in adults. However, few studies have evaluated the value of the hyomental distance for predicting difficult airways in newborns. It is unclear whether the hyomental distance forecasts a restricted or difficult view when using direct laryngoscopy. We intended to develop an effective system for predicting difficult tracheal intubation in newborns.
DESIGN: A prospective observational clinical study.
METHODS: Newborns aged 0 to 28 days undergoing oral endotracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy for elective surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled. The hyomental distance and hyoid level tissue thickness were assessed by ultrasound. Other parameters, such as the mandibular length and sternomental distance, were also evaluated before anesthesia. The glottic structure view under laryngoscopy was graded according to the Cormack-Lehane classification. The patients with Grade 1 and 2 laryngeal views were assigned to Group E. Those with Grade 3 and 4 views were assigned to Group D.
FINDINGS: A total of 123 newborns were recruited for our study. The incidence of poor visualization of the larynx during laryngoscopy in our study was 10.6%. The multifactor logistic regression results showed that the hyomental distance was a powerful predictor of difficult laryngoscopy (OR = 0.16, 95% CI 0.03-0.74, P = .019). The curve with the highest sensitivity and specificity and the maximum area under the curve (AUC) was the hyomental distance. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the hyomental distance suggested that the best cut-off value was less than equal to 2.74 cm, with an AUC of 0.80 (95% CI 0.64-0.95).
CONCLUSIONS: It is noninvasive and feasible to accurately measure the hyomental distance with ultrasound in newborns, and the results are reliable. We believe that the hyomental distance measured with ultrasound could be used as a marker for predicting difficult laryngoscopy in newborns.
