Summary

This study was designed to assess the success of indirect laryngoscopy and ultrasonographic measurements in the prediction of difficult airway. All patients were examined by indirect laryngoscopy and ultrasonography preoperatively and the predictive values for difficult airway of these methods were compared.

Conditions

  • Difficult Intubation

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ultrasonographic upper airway measurements

Ultrasonographic upper airway measurements: Epiglottis-skin distance, Hyoid bone-skin distance, Anterior commissure-skin distance and Thickness of tounge root. Indirect Laryngoscopy: Grading of laryngoscopic view (I=Visible anterior commissure and vocal cords, II= visible posterior part of vocal cords and posterior commissure, III= Visible posterior commissure and epiglottis, IV= Visible only epiglottis tip and posterior pharyngeal wall)
