Evaluation of the Relationship Between Airway Measurements with Ultrasonography and Laryngoscopy in Newborns and Infants.

CONCLUSIONS: The risk of a difficult laryngoscopy increases in children under the age of one. The preoperative airway assessment tools and Body Mass Index (BMI) had acceptable negative predictive values. We believe that all measurements could be used as markers for difficult laryngoscopy in newborns and infants. PMID: 32981070 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
