[The efficacy of using cephalometrics to predict difficult intubation of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].
To investigate the difference of radiological measurements between difficult-to-intubate obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) patients and easily-to-intubate ones, and explore the feasibility of cephalometry in predicting difficult intubation. ⋯ X-ray cephalometric indicators closest associated with difficult intubation in OSAHS patients are CL, TGL and H-MP, which are instructive for predicting difficult intubation.
