Treatment and study plan

Ultrasound cervical exploration

Procedure

The cervical ultrasound exploration will consist in the ultrasound measurement of the length between the hyoid bone and the skin and the length between the thyroid cartilage and the skin. The ultrasound cervical exploration will be performed in all patients admitted in the postoperative room after a planned surgery performed under general anesthesia.

Primary outcomes

  1. Sensibility, Specificity, predictive positive and negative values of US cervical measures relationship between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage with difficult intubation

    Time frame: Day 1

    The measure of the length between the hyoid bone and the skin and between the thyroid cartilage and the skin will be measured using an ultrasound cervical exploration in all patients admitted in the postoperative room after planned surgery performed under general anesthesia.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Sensibility, specificity and predictive positive and negative values of validated clinical criteria for difficult intubation

    Time frame: Day 1

    The collect of usual clinical criteria of difficult intubation in postoperative room of patients who undergo a general anesthesia for a surgery

  2. Mortality and morbidity of difficult intubation

    Time frame: Day 1

    Collect any complications (hypoxia, hypotension, tooth breakage) assigned to a difficult intubation during general anesthesia for surgery.
