Comparison of Ultrasonographic and Anthropometric Measurements in Difficult Airway Evaluation

NCT04140981 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: airway ultrasounography
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 127
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

In this study, anthropometric measurements (clinical measurements) will be applied in all patient groups; expected (to be difficult to provide airway patency as a result of detailed history, physical examination and evaluation tests performed by an experienced anesthesiologist), and unexpected (although it was not predicted that a difficulty was encountered). And ultrasounographic measurements will be applied in all patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive accuracy of ultrasonographic measurements.
