Brief Summary

Many changes occur in the body with age. There are difficulties in endotracheal intubation and the placement of supraglottic airway devices (LMA) in elderly patients due to changes in the tooth and facial structure, and a decrease in temporomandibular joint and neck movements. In the literature, there are studies on the relationship between thyromental height measurement and endotracheal intubation difficulty, but there is no study on the relationship between thyromental height measurement and laryngeal mask placement difficulty.
