Point‐of‐care ultrasound of the upper airway in difficult airway management: a systematic review and meta‐analysis*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction The utility of bedside screening tests for the prediction of difficult airways is limited. There is growing interest in the role of point‐of‐care‐ultrasound in airway assessment and management. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to determine the diagnostic utility and clinical application of various upper airway point ...
