Prediction of difficult mask ventilation in Thai adult patients undergoing elective surgery using ultrasound of distance from skin to hyoid bone, and from skin to thyroid isthmus: a prospective cohort observational study

Prediction of difficult mask ventilation in Thai adult patients undergoing elective surgery using ultrasound of distance from skin to hyoid bone, and from skin to thyroid isthmus: a prospective cohort observational study

Abstract Background A previous study showed that airway ultrasound, specifically the distance from the skin to the hyoid bone (DSHB), may be correlated with a higher risk of difficult mask ventilation (DMV). However, the study was conducted in Italy and lacks data for the Asian and Thai populations....
