Summary

An unexpected difficult airway can lead to severe hypoxia and even death. Accurate airway assessment can reduce the incidence of difficult endotracheal intubation and related complications. Studies have shown that some ultrasonic indicators can predict difficult airways in adults to some extent. Studies have begun to investigate whether ultrasonic parameters can be used to predict difficult airways in children.Ultrasonic measurements of certain airway parameters have predictive value for difficult airways; therefore, airway ultrasonography is recommended as an aid in difficult airway prediction. We think that in pediatric patients with adenotonsillectomy, we will encounter more difficult airway because there may be anatomical differentiation due to adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of difficult airway with USG measurements in pediatric patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy.

Group 1:Pediatric patients who underwent adenotonsillectomy Group 2: Pediatric patients who underwent any surgical operation We will evaluate two patient groups.
