Predicting difficult intubation is crucial for airway management in anesthesia practice. The Cormack-Lehane (CL) classification obtained via direct laryngoscopy (DL) is the standard for assessing glottic visualization. However, it is subjective and operator-dependent.
Ultrasonography (USG) has recently emerged as a promising, non-invasive tool for airway assessment by providing objective measurements of anatomical predictors.
