研究概览
简要总结
This study aims to determine whether ultrasound measurement of tongue thickness can accurately predict difficult laryngoscopy in adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia A Laryngoscopy will be performed by an anaesthesiologist blinded to ultrasound findings and laryngoscopic view will be graded using the Cormack Lehane classification along with the Intubation Difficulty Scale The diagnostic accuracy of tongue thickness will be compared against conventional clinical predictors such as Mallampati score thyromental distance and neck circumference The study seeks to establish tongue thickness as a simple non invasive and reproducible tool for early identification of patients at risk of difficult airway management
