Clinical <i>versus</i> Ultrasound Measurements of Hyomental Distance Ratio for the Prediction of Difficult Airway in Patients with and without Morbid Obesity
Purpose: To describe the correlation between clinically measured hyomental distance ratio (HMDR<sub>clin</sub>) and the ultrasound measurement (HMDR<sub>echo</sub>) in patients with and without morbid obesity and to compare their diagnostic accuracy for difficult airway predi...
