Study summary

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the predictive value of ultrasound-measured skin to epiglottis distance for difficult airway in adult patients undergoing elective or emergency procedures requiring airway management. The correlation between ultrasound measurements and standard airway assessment parameters will be analyzed.
