Ultrasound-measured cutaneous-epiglottic distance for predicting difficult laryngoscopy: an observational study
US-measured CED has a high discriminatory capability for predicting lower (1‒2) and higher (3‒4) Cormack-Lehane grades during direct laryngoscopy. CED was positively correlated with BMI and was independently associated with higher odds for difficult laryngoscopy.
