No results posted yet for this study

Summary

An unanticipated difficult airway is a potentially life-threatening event during elective surgery or management of critical conditions. However, the common clinical screening tests, show low sensitivity and specificity with a limited predictive value. Recently, ultrasound has been used to identify difficult airway. Tongue volume is one of the parameters evaluated by ultrasound. In this study, we aim to evaluate the capacity of mid-sagittal tongue CSA and tongue width to predict difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation.
