Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Cervical ultrasound exploration	Ultrasound cervical exploration	A cervical ultrasound exploration will be performed in all patients admitted for a planned surgery performed under general anesthesia during the stay in the postoperative room.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Sensibility, Specificity, predictive positive and negative values of US cervical measures relationship between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage with difficult intubation	Day 1	The measure of the length between the hyoid bone and the skin and between the thyroid cartilage and the skin will be measured using an ultrasound cervical exploration in all patients admitted in the postoperative room after planned surgery performed under general anesthesia.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Sensibility, specificity and predictive positive and negative values of validated clinical criteria for difficult intubation	Day 1	The collect of usual clinical criteria of difficult intubation in postoperative room of patients who undergo a general anesthesia for a surgery
Mortality and morbidity of difficult intubation	Day 1	Collect any complications (hypoxia, hypotension, tooth breakage) assigned to a difficult intubation during general anesthesia for surgery.
