Evaluation of Clinical Airway Assessments With a Gray Zone Approach

Difficult Laryngoscopy Clinical Trial

Official title:
Evaluation of Clinical Airway Assessments for Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy Using a Gray Zone Approach

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Failure of advanced airway security has been reported that it could lead lethal complication such as brain hypoxic damage. There have been controversial reports for the airway assessment tests which can predict difficult laryngoscopy. Therefore, we evaluated diagnostic validity of pre-existing airway assessment tests and scoring system using a gray zone approach in patients undergoing general anesthesia required endotracheal intubation.

Clinical Trial Description

POGO(percentage of glottic opening)will be evaluated by an attachable fiberoptic scope (AV scope. CAREtec CO.Ltd, Kangwon-Do, South Korea) ;

Study Design

Observational Model: Case-Only, Time Perspective: Prospective
