Midsagittal Tongue Measurement to Predict Difficult Airways
Efficacy of Midsagittal Tongue Cross-section Area Measured by Ultrasound in Predicting Difficult Airway in Obesity Surgery Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Jun 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
An unanticipated difficult airway is a potentially life-threatening event during elective surgery or management of critical conditions. However, the common clinical screening tests, show low sensitivity and specificity with a limited predictive value. Recently, ultrasound has been used to identify difficult airway. Tongue volume is one of the parameters evaluated by ultrasound. In this study, we aim to evaluate the capacity of mid-sagittal tongue CSA and tongue width to predict difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation.
