I know what it is but I am trying to ascertain whether in English it suffices with the term "hyoid to chin distance" or one has to be more specific.
The content is one sheet of pre-assessment document and the context is the section of assessment of upper airways for intubation.
That is:
Atlanto-occipital mobility: posición de olfateo (my translation so far: hyoid to chin distance).
I wonder if I have to add something to it to specify the distance.
Any help appreciated
TIA
