Although many tests exist for predicting a difficult airway, the search for a test with substantially higher specificity and sensitivity is still ongoing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of modified thyromental distance and modified sternomental distance measurements, scaled according to the patient's own three-finger breadth, in predicting difficult laryngoscopy and difficult tracheal intubation.
Patients aged 18 years and older who agreed to participate in the study
Patients who refused to participate in the study
Patients with limited neck mobility
Patients whose mouth opening is smaller than the width of their own three fingers
