Ultrasound Measurement of Skin-to-Epiglottis Distance for Prediction of Difficult Airway in Adult Patients

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Tracheal Intubation, Elective Surgery, Tracheal Diamater Measurement, Ultrasound Evaluation of Airway

In brief

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the predictive value of ultrasound-measured skin to epiglottis distance for difficult airway in adult patients undergoing elective or emergency procedures requiring airway management. The correlation between ultrasound measurements and standard airway assessment parameters will be analyzed.
