Overview
Brief Summary
This is a cross-sectional observational study conducted to find the relationship between anterior neck soft tissue thickness measured by ultrasound and the Conmark Lehane grading seen during intubation. The study aims to determine whether ultrasound measurement of neck soft tissue can help predict difficult laryngoscopy in patients undergoing general anesthesia.
