Summary

The investigators applied upper airway ultrasonographic examination focusing the measurement of upper airway diameters in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery to evaluate the change of upper airway anatomy before and after the surgery. The investigators also tried to find any findings of ultrasonographic examination that could reliably predict the dyspnea or airway compression after extubation. The investigators tried to compare the ultrasonographic findings with those of chest radiograph to validate the measurements of the ultrasonographic examination. A cuff leak test was preformed to evaluate its ability to predict the upper airway obstruction in shoulder arthroscopic surgery.
