Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To evaluate anterior neck soft tissue by clinical parameters to predict difficult airway in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia. 2. To evaluate anterior neck soft tissue by ultasonographic parameters to predict difficult airway in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia. 3. To compare clinical parameters with ultasonographic parameters to predict difficult airway in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia.Timepoint: In the pre- operating holding area with the patient lying supine and in sniffing position,the sonographic assessment will be done with the high frequency (7.5Mhz)linear probe, placed in the submandibular area in the midline for 10 minutes. | — |
