Airway Ultrasound Indices for Prediction of Difficult Laryngoscopy in Pediatric Patients

NCT07185516 · Status: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 130

Last updated 2025-09-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the airway ultrasound indices and the preoperative clinical airway assessment concerning the difficult laryngoscopic view in paediatric patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia

The main question it aims to answer is:

• Do airway ultrasound indices better predict difficult laryngoscopic view in paediatric patients than clinical airway assessment?

Conditions

  • Airway Ultrasound Indices
  • Clinical Airway Assessment

Interventions

OTHER

Airway ultrasound indices

Tongue thickness, hyomental distance in neutral position (HMDRn), hyomental distance in extended position (HMDRe), ratio of hyomental distance in both positions (HMDR), thyromental distance (TMD), ratio of tongue thickness to thyromental distance (TT/TMD), epiglottis thickness \&pre-epiglottic space thickness

OTHER

Clinical airway assessment

Mallampati grading and thyromental distance (TMD). The glottic structures displayed during laryngoscopy will be classified according to the Cormack-Lehane
