Incidence and Contributing Anthropometric Factors of Difficult Airway in Pediatric Surgical Patients

NCT06000267 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 500

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this prospective, observational study is to identify predictors of difficult mask ventilation, direct laryngoscopy and intubation in pediatric patients scheduled for elective surgery and to determine their incidence. As a final goal, the investigators will try to define new scoring system for difficult airway prediction. Participants will be pediatric patients age infant till school age. Participants will have their airway assessed one day before surgery by taking anthropometric measurements of face and neck. After iv anesthesia induction and application of muscle relaxant, the investigators will assess difficulty of face mask ventilation by using grading from 0-4. Direct laryngoscopy will be performed with Macintosh blade and experienced anesthesiologist will determine Cormack - Lehane score as well as intubation difficulty score (IDS).
