This prospective observational study aims to evaluate three scoring systems (VIDIAC (Video Laryngoscopic Intubation and Difficult Airway Classification), PeDiAC (Pediatric Difficult Airway Classification), and the Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS)).
A total of 450 children undergoing general anesthesia with videolaryngoscopic intubation will be included in the study. Demographic data, intraoperative parameters, and glottic imaging, as well as detailed intubation-related variables such as total intubation time, number of attempts, complications, and subjective intubation ease scores will be recorded.
