Comparative Study of Clinical and Ultrasound Parameters for Defining a Difficult Airway in Patients with Obesity.

Introduction: Patients with obesity have anatomical changes due to increased adipose tissue that negatively affect airway accessibility, making it difficult to establish an advanced airway through orotracheal intubation. This article aims to evaluate the correlation of clinical and sonographic parameters as predictors of difficult airway management (DAM) in patients with obesity and to establish the predictive value of the skin-epiglottis distance as an indicator of a probable DAM.

Methods: This is an observational, prospective study of 100 patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery over a 12-month period.
