Brief Summary  

Face mask ventilation is crucial for airway management under general anaesthesia to maintain airway patency for optimal oxygenation of tissues.

The routine examination such as inter incisor distance(IID), Mallampati classification, and upper lip bite test(ULBT) require a patient to open his mouth and exposes the anaesthesiologist to patient’s upper respiratory tract with risk of airborne infections (coronavirus, tuberculosis, Influenza, pneumonia).

Our aim is to evaluate condyle tragus distance measured while patient wearing surgical mask for prediction of difficult face mask ventilation.

Our primary objective is to evaluate condyle tragus distance (mouth open) while wearing surgical mask for prediction of difficult mask ventilation.

Our secondary objective is to:

1) To evaluate condyle tragus distance (jaw protruded) while wearing surgical mask for prediction of difficult mask ventilation.

2) To compare direct temporomandibular joint mobility indicators measured while wearing surgical mask (condyle tragus distance with mouth open and jaw protruded) with indirect temporomandibular joint mobility indicators measured without surgical mask (inter incisor distance, modified Mallampati classification, and upper lip bite test) for prediction of difficult mask ventilation.
