- Brief Summary
This study is designed to analyzethe efficacy of ultrasonography airway measurement of Angle between the epiglottis andglottis, The ratio of depth of pre epiglottic space(Pre -E) to distance fromepiglottis to mid-point of distance between the vocal cords(E-VC) in predictingdifficult laryngoscopy and to observe correlation with MCLS.
