Ultrasound Quantification of Anterior Neck Soft-Tissue Thickness: A Reliable Predictor of Difficult Laryngoscopy in Obese Patients
Background: Obese patients are at increased risk of difficult laryngoscopy due to anterior neck soft-tissue deposition. Conventional clinical predictors have limited reliability in this population. This study evaluated the predictive performance of bedside ultrasound measurement of anterior neck soft-tissue thickness....
