Ultrasonographic Airway Assessment and VIDIAC Score

Conditions: Difficult Airway, Difficult Intubation, Airway Assessment, Videolaryngoscopic Intubation

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – 80 Years

Healthy volunteers: No

Enrollment: 100

Sponsor: Samsun University

Summary

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between preoperative ultrasonographic airway measurements and the Video-Intubation Difficulty Assessment Classification (VIDIAC) score in adult patients undergoing endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia. The study will investigate whether airway ultrasound parameters can predict difficult videolaryngoscopic intubation and assess their association with the Cormack-Lehane classification, intubation time, and other airway management outcomes.
