Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Cervical ultrasound exploration
A cervical ultrasound exploration will be performed in all patients admitted for a planned surgery performed under general anesthesia during the stay in the postoperative room.
The cervical ultrasound exploration will consist in the ultrasound measurement of the length between the hyoid bone and the skin and the length between the thyroid cartilage and the skin. The ultrasound cervical exploration will be performed in all patients admitted in the postoperative room after a planned surgery performed under general anesthesia.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sensibility, Specificity, predictive positive and negative values of US cervical measures relationship between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage with difficult intubation
Time Frame: Day 1
The measure of the length between the hyoid bone and the skin and between the thyroid cartilage and the skin will be measured using an ultrasound cervical exploration in all patients admitted in the postoperative room after planned surgery performed under general anesthesia.
Day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time Frame: Day 1
The collect of usual clinical criteria of difficult intubation in postoperative room of patients who undergo a general anesthesia for a surgery
Day 1
Mortality and morbidity of difficult intubation
Time Frame: Day 1
Collect any complications (hypoxia, hypotension, tooth breakage) assigned to a difficult intubation during general anesthesia for surgery.
Day 1
