Official Title: Relationship of Isthmus Thickness With Difficult Laryngoscopy and Difficult Intubation in Patients Receiving Hypothyroidism Treatment: A Prospective Observational Clinical Study
Brief Summary:
Under general anesthesia, the rate of failed intubation ranges from 1.5% to 13%, raising concerns among anesthesiologists whose primary goal is successful airway management.In this context, various physical and ultrasonographic measurement techniques have been developed to predict difficult intubation.Ultrasonography is effectively used for estimating tracheal tube size, device placement, diagnosing upper airway pathologies, and guiding percutaneous tracheostomy.In thyroid pathologies, intubation difficulty may…
