Brief Summary
This study aims to develop a comprehensive airway assessment score including traditional bedside clinical tests and ultrasound measurements with high accuracy in predicting difficult airway, and to validate it through testing it on a large population sample. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the comprehensive scoring system that includes clinical bedside and ultrasound measurements developed to predict difficult airways valid in a large population sample? Adult patients undergoing general anesthesia with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification 1-4 will be recruited. Traditional and ultrasound measurements will be collected.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients undergoing general anesthesia * American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification 1-4 * Emergency or elective cases Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with confirmed history of difficult airway * Patients with maxillofacial trauma or cervical spine injury or instability * Pregnant patients * Patients with a history of head and neck cancer * Patients with known subglottic stenosis * Patients requiring a double lumen tube insertion * Patients with a history of neck radiotherapy
