About this trial

This study aims to develop a comprehensive airway assessment score including traditional bedside clinical tests and ultrasound measurements with high accuracy in predicting difficult airway, and to validate it through testing it on a large population sample. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the comprehensive scoring system that includes clinical bedside and ultrasound measurements developed to predict difficult airways valid in a large population sample? Adult patients undergoing general anesthesia with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification 1-4 will be recruited. Traditional and ultrasound measurements will be collected.
