Clinical Trial: Combined Ultrasonographic Skin-to-Epiglottis Distance With Modified Mallampati Versus Modified Mallampati Score Alone in Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy During Tracheal Intubation Under General Anesthesia

U.S., Jan. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07315256) titled 'Combined Ultrasonographic Skin-to-Epiglottis Distance With Modified Mallampati Versus Modified Mallampati Score Alone in Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy During Tracheal Intubation Under General Anesthesia' on Dec. 18, 2025.

Brief Summary: This study will evaluate how well an ultrasound measurement of the distance from the skin to the epiglottis, when combined with the modified Mallampati score, can predict difficult laryngoscopy in adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. Adult patients scheduled for surgery requiring tracheal intubation will be randomly assigned to two assessment strategies before anest...
