Higher Force Metrics Associated With Known Risk Factors for Difficult Laryngeal Exposure.

Key Points

• This research aims to examine the relationship between force metrics and risk factors for difficult laryngeal exposure during intubation.
• Analyzed force metrics during supraglottic measurement and laryngeal intubation
• Identified known risk factors for difficult laryngeal exposure
• Correlated force metrics with predictive indicators
• Higher force metrics corresponded with predefined risk factors for difficult intubation
• This correlation could help identify at-risk patients before procedures
• Increased force during laryngeal exposure is linked to potential postoperative complications
