Primary

MeasureTime frame
-Ultrasonographic measurement of anterior neck soft tissue thickness at 3 levels -Distance from skin to hyoid bone (DSHB) -Distance from skin to thyrohyoid membrane (DSTM) -Distance from.skin to anterior commissure of vocal cord (DSAC) and to compare and correlate the findings with Cooks modification of Cormack Lehane score in predicting difficult laryngoscopyTimepoint: -Ultrasonographic measurement of anterior neck soft tissue thickness at 3 levels 30 minutes before proposed surgery -Distance from skin to hyoid bone (DSHB) -Distance from skin to thyrohyoid membrane (DSTM) -Distance from.skin to anterior commissure of vocal cord (DSAC) and to compare and correlate the findings with Cooks modification of Cormack Lehane score in predicting difficult laryngoscopy—
