Brief Summary

Ultrasound is one of the most useful devices in daily anesthesia practice. Latest purpose of ultrasound usage is prediction of difficult intubation. In this study, we aimed to predict difficult laryngoscopy and intubation by using ultrasound measurement of neck soft tissue thickness in obese patient preoperatively.

Conditions

Obese Patients

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Hyoid bone-skin distance -effect of ultrasound on prediction of difficult laryngoscopy

  The hyoid bone-skin distance will be measured by using ultrasound in centimeters

  30 minutes before induction

• Epiglottis-skin distance

  The epiglottis-skin distance will be measured by using ultrasound in centimeters

  30 minutes before induction

• Thyroid isthmus-skin distance

  The thyroid isthmus-skin distance will be measured by using ultrasound in centimeters

  30 minutes before induction

• Vocal cord-skin distance

  The vocal cord-skin distance will be measured by using ultrasound in centimeters

  30 minutes before induction

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Intubation difficulty scale score

  1 minutes after intubation

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
