Ultrasound-Based Airway Assessment for Predicting Difficult Intubation in Adult Female Patients

Study acronym: USG-AIRWAY
Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the ability of selected ultrasonographic airway measurements to predict difficult intubation in adult female patients undergoing elective surgery. Pre-induction airway ultrasonography will be performed to measure tongue thickness and anterior neck soft tissue-related parameters. These measurements will be compared with laryngoscopic findings during direct laryngoscopy. The results of this study may help identify practical and reliable ultrasound-based markers for preoperative airway assessment and improve patient safety.
