About this trial

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between preoperative ultrasonographic airway measurements and the Pediatric Difficult Airway Classification (PeDiAC) score in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia. The study will assess whether ultrasound-derived airway parameters are associated with difficult airway characteristics and PeDiAC scores.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Children aged 1-18 years.

Patients scheduled for elective surgery.

Patients undergoing endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia.

American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III.

Disqualifiers

Known craniofacial anomalies.

Congenital airway malformations.

Restricted cervical mobility.

Emergency surgical procedures.

Trial population

The study population will consist of pediatric patients aged 1-18 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III who are scheduled to undergo elective surgical procedures requiring endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia at a tertiary care hospital. Eligible patients whose parents or legal guardians provide written informed consent and who meet all inclusion criteria will be consecutively enrolled during the study period.
