This unicentric observational study collects clinical characteristics, demographic data, and point-of-care airway ultrasound measurements in patients undergoing videolaryngoscopy. These variables are analysed using machine-learning techniques to examine their association with predefined videolaryngoscopy-related outcomes, including blade performance and adjunct requirement.
Patients (male or female) ASA I-III, aged between 18 and 90 years, undergoing scheduled surgery requiring orotracheal intubation. The signature of the informed consent is required authorizing its inclusion in the study.
Obesity class II defined as a BMI greater than 35.
Pregnant.
Cervical tumors, goiter or patients who have required radiotherapy at the cervical level
Abnormalities that condition anatomy alterations such as facial / cervical fractures.
