Brief Summary:
This study was designed to assess the success of indirect laryngoscopy and ultrasonographic measurements in the prediction of difficult airway. All patients were examined by indirect laryngoscopy and ultrasonography preoperatively and the predictive values for difficult airway of these methods were compared.
Detailed Description:
Difficult airway is a condition that increases the patient's vital risk and leaves the anesthesia and surgical team in a difficult position. Failure to perform an adequate preoperative evaluation may result in the team being unprepared. Therefore, various methods have been investigated in the prediction of difficult airway from past to present. With the development of technology, imaging methods have become routine applications in clinical use. Ultrasonography and indirect laryngoscopy have been shown to be used in predicting difficult airway in the literature, but there is no study showing which is a better predictor.
