Abstract :
This study is performed to assess the
ability of an index: the ratio of Neck
Circumference/Thyromental Distance (NC/TM), to
predict difficult airways in obese patients and to develop
a predictor for difficult intubation that is simple and
easy to perform with high specificity and sensitivity
compared with established indices.
Keywords :
Obesity, Difficultintubation, Neck Circumference to Thyromental Distance ratio.
