- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method pper airway ultrasonography based parameters including visibility of hyoid, thickness of tongue, anterior neck soft tissue thickness from the skin to hyoid bone and anterior neck soft tissue thickness from the skin to thyrohyoid membrane. Any difficulty during intubationTimepoint: Ultrasound based parameters in the preoperative room and difficulty during intubation after induction of general anaesthesia
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Validity of models combinining various ultrasonography based parameters measured as primary outcome in predicting difficult intubationTimepoint: During data interpretation
