简要总结
Airway assessment is one of the most crucial steps of a preanesthetic evaluation. It will help us assess the facial features and help maintain breathing during surgical procedures.
Predicting difficult airway will help us manage and prevent complications during the procedure. Condyle Tragus maximum distance measures the maximum interval between the condyle of mandible and the tragus of the ear with mouth wide open. This is an indirect indicator of the temporomandibular joint.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of condyle tragus maximum distance and to compare the accuracy of this measure with standard parameters like Mallampati score, upper lip bite test and thyromental distance in predicting difficult airway in all patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia.
