Ultrasound and mouth exam to predict difficult breathing tube placement

UltrasonographicMallampati ScoreMallampati Score, Difficult Intubation, VideolaryngoscopeTracheal Intubation

This study tests whether using an ultrasound measurement of the neck, along with a standard mouth exam, can better predict when placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It may help doctors prepare better for surgery.
