Official Title: Examining the Effects of the Stop-Bang Scoring Model, Anthropometric Measurements, and Head Dimensions on Difficult Airway Prediction
Brief Summary:
Airway-related complications are among the leading causes of anesthesia-associated morbidity and mortality.Therefore, the ability to predict difficult mask ventilation, laryngoscopy, and intubation before induction is essential to ensure proper preparation in patients at risk and avoid unnecessary airway manipulations in low-risk individuals.While numerous studies have focused on predicting difficult intubation, most have limited sample sizes and do not consider postoperative critical respiratory events.In this…
