Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy in Morbidly Obese Patients by Ultrasound of Distance from Skin to Epiglottis: A Prospective Observational Study

2021-10-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> In morbidly obese patients, airway management is challenging since the incidence of difficult intubation is 3 times that in normal patient. Standard preoperative airway evaluation may help to indicate for probability of difficult laryngoscopy. Recent studies have used ultrasonography-measured distance from skin to epiglottis and pretracheal soft tissue at the level of vocal cords, and cut-poi...
