Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine if cervical ultrasound exploration can predict difficult intubation better than main validated clinical criteria in general surgery.

Conditions

• Intubation; Difficult

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Ultrasound cervical exploration	The cervical ultrasound exploration will consist in the ultrasound measurement of the length between the hyoid bone and the skin and the length between the thyroid cartilage and the skin.
