Summary

Difficult intubation is considered one of the most important obstacle increasing mortality in anesthesiology. Airway assessment tests are proceeded to overcome these difficulties in the pre-anesthetic evaluation. In this study, the Simplified Predictive Intubation Difficulty Score (SPIDS) and Thyromental Height Measurement (TMH) were chosen as primary methods to predict difficult intubation. The ear-nose-throat (ENT) and Plastic Surgery patients were planned to enroll this study to assess the effectiveness of these tests in predicting difficult intubation in Maltepe University Hospital and Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Governmental Hospital.

The SPIDS of volunteers will be calculated according to their previous knowledge of difficult intubation, airway pathologies, head and neck movements, mouth opening, modified Mallampati test and thyromental distance. TMH value will be measured with ASIMETO depth device. Finally, the SPIDS and TMH values will be statistically compared to predict difficult intubation which is determined with difficult intubation score (IDS).
