Summary

failed and Difficult tracheal intubation after direct laryngoscopy is a dreaded complication of general anesthesia as it is associated with serious morbidity and mortality. There are several conventional clinical airway assessment parameters such as the modified Mallampati classification,thyromental and hyomental distance, interincisor distance, neck movementsand neck circumference, which are usually used to predict a difficult airwayand are components of multivariate risk indices. Despite the use of these parameters, the diagnostic accuracy of a preanesthetic airway assessment in predicting difficult intubation is very low. Ultrasound has been evolving as a useful device for airway assessment,and sublingual ultrasound has been used for this purpose.
