Sponsor's own description
Airway-related complications are among the leading causes of anesthesia-associated morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the ability to predict difficult mask ventilation, laryngoscopy, and intubation before induction is essential to ensure proper preparation in patients at risk and avoid unnecessary airway manipulations in low-risk individuals. While numerous studies have focused on predicting difficult intubation, most have limited sample sizes and do not consider postoperative critical respiratory events. In this prospective observational clinical study, we aim to investigate the relationship between commonly used preoperative airway assessment tools-including anthropometric measurements, Mallampati score, and the STOP-Bang questionnaire for obstructive sleep apnea-and the incidence of difficult mask ventilation, difficult laryngoscopy (Cormack-Lehane grading), difficult intubation, and critical respiratory events in the postoperative period. The study will include adult patients (≥18 years) classified as ASA I-IV undergoing surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Data will be collected preoperatively, intraoperatively, and in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) by experienced anesthesia personnel. Postoperative critical respiratory events are defined as unexpected hypoxemia, hypoventilation, reintubation, or interventions required for upper/lower airway obstruction.
