Summary

evaluate the efficacy of the ultrasound approach in predicting difficult mask ventilation in a heterogeneous population of patients undergoing general anesthesia.

Detailed description

Preoperative ultrasound of the upper airway and detection of 5 ultrasound measurements: Trachea-skin distance at the level of the thyroid isthmus; Trachea-skin distance at the jugular level Front commissure-skin distance; Distance from skin to the thyroid membrane Distance between hyoid bone and skin. Comparison of this measurement with HAN-scale for prediction of difficult mask ventilation during general anesthesia
