Development of a scoring system for predicting difficult intubation using ultrasonography

Background and Aims: Ultrasound measurement of anterior neck soft tissue thickness by skin to epiglottis distance (SED) has been shown to predict difficult laryngoscopy. In this study, we developed an airway scoring system incorporating SED into three clinical predictors and assessed whether it woul...
