Brief Summary

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of various anatomic measurements alone or in combination in predicting difficult intubation. The investigators hypothesized that goniomastoid distance, thyrogonial distance and tongue movements are sensitive and specific tests for predicting difficult intubation MATERIALS AND METHODS: The investigators included the data of 170 patients (85 difficult intubation and 85 easy intubation) who underwent an abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. Patients in difficult intubation (n=85) and easy intubation (n=85) groups were matched by age, BMI, and gender. Intubation difficulty scale (IDS) scores were recorded. Upward and downward maximal protrusions of tongue (UMPT and DMPT, respectively) were evaluated in all patients. Anthropometric measurements were measured.
