Geometric morphometrics and machine learning from three-dimensional facial scans for difficult mask ventilation prediction

BackgroundUnanticipated difficult mask ventilation (DMV) is a potentially life-threatening event in anesthesia. Nevertheless, predicting DMV currently remains a challenge. This study aimed to verify whether three dimensional (3D) facial scans could predict DMV in patients scheduled for general anest...
