Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess the correlation between preoperative Ultrasonographic airway assessment of following parameters with laryngoscopic view (Cormack Lehane) <br/ ><br>1. Ratio of depth of preepiglottic space (Pre-E) and distance from epiglottis to the midpoint of the distance between the vocal cords (E-VC) <br/ ><br>2. Anterior soft tissue neck thickness at the level of hyoid (ANS-Hyoid) and vocal cords (ANS-VC)Timepoint: 1. Preoperative. <br/ ><br>2. During laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation.
