The Impact of Ultrasound Measurements in Predicting Difficult Airway on Videolaryngoscopy Success

Sponsor: Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital

Summary

In this preoperative observational study, the effect of preoperative ultrasonographic measurements on the success of videolaryngoscopy in predicting difficult airways was investigated; furthermore, the aim was to determine new cut-off values that can predict difficult intubation in videolaryngoscope use. In our study, it was tested that the use of videolaryngoscope significantly increased the success of intubation in patients who were assessed as having difficult airways with upper airway ultrasound measurements.
