This study found that when the laryngeal blade is mounted during the suspension direct laryngoscopy surgery, there is a significant increase in ultrasonographically measured ONSD and increased the ONSD even further during the time the mouth gag was remained in situ. This is the first research to indicate that measuring ONSD with ultrasonography during suspension direct laryngoscopy raises intracranial pressure.
