Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess ultrasonographic measurement of soft tissue thickness of anterior neck for predicting difficult laryngoscopyTimepoint: anterior neck soft thickness will measured in cm and average will be taken after taking two reading

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess predictive accuracy of measurement of anterior neck soft tissue to conventional clinical predictors (Mallampati grading & inter-incisor gap) for assessment of the difficult laryngoscopyTimepoint: soft thickness will be measured & average will be taken after taking two reading
