Abstract
- Ultrasound is a quick, noninvasive, inexpensive tool that can provide an accurate airway assessment. Tongue thickness, oral cavity height, and their relationship were measured using submandibular ultrasonography with and without oral airway interventions during intubation in 26 patients. The mean tongue thickness to oral cavity height ratio was 0.83 ± 0.03. The percent change of tongue thickness to oral cavity height decreased significantly by 36.47% with an oral airway and by 43.49% with laryngoscope interventions (P
