Neck extension with closed mouth position provides optimal airway patency after anterior cervical spine surgery at C3-4 and C4-5: a single-center retrospective case series

Neck extension with closed mouth position provides optimal airway patency after anterior cervical spine surgery at C3-4 and C4-5: a single-center retrospective case series

Abstract Airway compromise due to prevertebral soft tissue swelling is a potentially devastating complication following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). However, there are no studies on the postoperative patient posture for enhancing airway patency after ACDF. This study aimed to anal...
