New treatment option for Correlation of Difficult Airway Markers With Ultrasonographic...
Official title Comparison of Airway Ultrasonography and Laryngoscopy Methods in Obese Patients
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07482436
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between classical markers used in assessing difficult airway management in obese patients (Mallampati score, thyromental distance, sternomental distance, neck circumference measurement) and ultrasonographic parameters (vocal cord mobility, glottic opening, hyomental distance, skin-epiglottic distance, and peri-epiglottic space-epiglottic-vocal cord ratio), to compare the effects of these parameters on predicting difficult intubation, and to investigate the effects of different laryngoscopy methods on intubation success and peroperative respiratory complications. The secondary objective of the study is to investigate the effects of different laryngoscopy methods on hemodynamic responses to intubation.
