More on ramped position and 25-degree head up positions K.B. Greenland British Journal of Anaesthesia Volume 117, Issue 5, Pages 674-675 (November 2016) DOI: 10.1093/bja/aew325 Copyright © 2016 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 Airway configurations outlined over midline sagittal MRI images in different head and neck positions (Note: author’s MRI images used). Airway configurations in the neutral and 25-degree head up positions are identical in shape but rotated 25degrees anticlockwise. Airway configuration in the sniffing position is rotated anticlockwise but the oro-glotto-tracheal curve has some flattening.
