Combination of ultrasonography and tongue depressor for predicting difficult laryngoscopy in apparently normal patients

Objectives: We hypothesized measurements of the upper airway using ultrasound and a tongue depressor can be used to predict difficult laryngoscopy. Methods: There were 239 patients enrolled. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was used to assess the diagnostic value of clinica...
