Ultrasonography vs Conventional Methods for Prediction of Difficult Airway in Adult Patients

The aim of this study to assess and compare between methods of prediction of difficult airway including Mallmpati score , thyromental distance and us measured distance from skin to epiglottis(DES) t the level of thyrohyoid membrane in adult patients requiring endotracheal intubation for an elective surgical procedure.
