Brief Summary  

Airway related morbidity as the result of inability to anticipate the difficult airway remains primary concerns for the anaesthesiologist. Inability to predict difficult airway is  probably due to high inter observer variability and low predictability of routine airway assessment test.Combination of routine clinical screening test with various ultra sound measurements might be reliable. USG of upper airway provides detailed   assessment of anatomical structures, and airway pathology. The main benefit of USG in anaesthesia is the predictive power for difficult airway measurements such as thickness of anterior soft tissue at the level of hyoid bone,thyrohyoid membrane,anterior commissure.

                                           This study is aimed to evaluate the utility of ultrasound measurement of infrahyoid airway structures in predicting difficult laryngoscopy
