简要总结
Effective airway management is essential in anaesthesiology, as difficult laryngoscopy significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality. Pre-anaesthetic airway assessment aims to identify patients at risk and plan management accordingly.
The El-Ganzouri Risk Index is a validated clinical scoring system that predicts difficult intubation using parameters such as mouth opening, thyromental distance, and Mallampati grade.
Ultrasound, increasingly used as a visual stethoscope, offers an objective method for airway evaluation. Measurement of skin-to-epiglottis distance by ultrasound has emerged as a potential predictor of difficult laryngoscopy.
This study aims to compare the predictive value of the clinically assessed EGRI and sonologically measured SED in determining difficult laryngoscopy.
