Evaluation of Difficult Laryngoscopy With Ultrasonography in Pediatric Patients

NCT05833347 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 121

Last updated 2024-02-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pediatric patients pose challenges in airway management due to anatomical and physiological changes. Using recommended predictive tests for predicting difficult airway can be improved by combining them with ultrasound measurement of the anterior soft tissues of the neck. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the ultrasound measurement of anterior neck soft tissues in paediatric patients before anesthesia induction, to anticipate difficult laryngoscopy.
