Surprisingly the upper lips bite has higher sensitivity but rarely we perform it on assessment.

If videolaryngoscopy is your default choice, is there still a place for bedside tests in patients for elective surgery who have no known/expected airway pathology?

Problem is that individually none of these are perfect, widely variable sensitivity & specificity. Possible improved when combined. But many unanticipated difficult airways are still missed - see this 2018 Cochrane review - https://t.co/sRxoMWANiI #Jan

Cochrane review couldnt find any tool that had a good sensitivity for detecting difficult airway so dont feel bad if you have an unanticipated problem! https://t.co/fs8YYNi1Nv

Airway assessment tools are fairly specific but not very sensitive. Not ideal for a screening test. #NWAM https://t.co/J5bHPxOoJU

The Cochrane, however, didn’t find as great clinical utility to bedside examination. This may be due to differences in how the measured outcome was defined... https://t.co/OMEjE2gb8a
