Airway Ultrasound Prediction and Correlation

Not Applicable

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Difficult Airway

• Registration Number: NCT03313947
• Lead Sponsor: Vidya Raman

Brief Summary

This is a novel approach to assess the use of ultrasound to support the identification of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on a screening questionnaire, and potentially to predict a difficult pediatric airway. The investigators hope to determine if a combination of simple bedside clinical tests can be used to identify OSAS in patients who present for surgery with clinical signs of OSAS but without a formal polysomnography.
