Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
These parameters may serve as simple, reliable, and non-invasive predictors for identifying patients at higher risk of difficult airway management. Using these measurements preoperatively can help anesthesiologists plan better airway strategies, thereby improving patient safety and overall outcomes.Timepoint: Once ( pre_operative
