Stop-bang score and mandibulohyoid distance in prediction of difficult airway in patients who come for elective surgery requiring endotracheal intubation in Hospital USM

Incidence of difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation are higher among patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Precision in making the diagnosis and predicting difficult laryngoscopy preoperatively may help to reduce anaesthetic complications. This study was designed to evaluate the di...
