Brief summary

The aim of this study to assess and compare between methods of prediction of difficult airway including Mallmpati score , thyromental distance and us measured distance from skin to epiglottis(DES) t the level of thyrohyoid membrane in adult patients requiring endotracheal intubation for an elective surgical procedure.
