Brief Summary

The VIDIAC score is a measurement system that objectively defines glottic visibility and anatomical complexity in videolaryngoscopy. The literature has shown a relationship between parameters such as BMI, NC, and TMD and difficult airway management in obese patients, but there is no study examining the BRI-VIDIAC relationship.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Examining the correlation between BRI and BMI values and the VIDIAC score.

  To examine the correlation between BRI and BMI values and the VIDIAC score, and to determine whether BRI is a stronger predictor of difficult airway passage than BMI.
