Brief Summary  
Thesis topic- Preoperative airway assessment using El
Ganzouri index versus Ultrasonography


Airway Management is a critical skill in the practice of several
medical specialities including anaesthesia, emergency
medicine, and intensive care settings. Various clinical criteria
are used to evaluate patient’s airway.
Ultrasonography (USG) of the upper airway is capable of
providing detailed anatomic information .The use of point of
care ultrasonography for the prediction of difficult
laryngoscopy and intubation has shown some promises in
small studies but its overall value has yet to be established.
El ganzouri index scoring system involves various criteria like
Modified Mallampati classification,mouth opening,ability to
prognath,neck extension,history of difficult intubation,body
weight,thyromental distance.
