Ultrasonography in Predicting Difficult Intubation in Obese Emergency Surgical Patients

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Preoperative Ultrasound Assessment of the Upper Airway Can Predict Difficult Laryngscopy in Obese at Emergency Operations

• Registration Number: NCT05109221
• Lead Sponsor: Minia University

Brief Summary

Validity of ultrasonography in predicting difficult laryngoscopy and confirming endotracheal intubation in obese emergency surgical patients

Detailed Description

The aim of the study is to determine whether preoperative ultrasound assessment of of the upper airway can predict difficult laryngscopy in emergency surgical obese patients , by analysis correlations between ultrasound measurements of anterior cervical soft in the upper airway, and the Cormack-Lehane grade. And evaluate its role in confirming the endotracheal placement The secondary objective was to determine whether clinical screening tests are independent predictors of difficult airway.
