Abstract
Background. The relevance of the review is due to the increasing development of ultrasound and its role in anesthesiological practice, in particular, as a method of predicting difficult cases of intubation of the respiratory tract. Objective. To analyze the literature on the clinical significance of ultrasound parameters for the diagnosis of difficult intubation. Material and methods. A total of 33 literature sources were analyzed. Results. Information was obtained on the presence in anesthesiological practice of a number of ultrasound parameters, that to one degree or another have a direct relation to difficult intubation. Conclusions. Based on research, it has been established that separately some ultrasound parameters have a fairly high sensitivity in predicting difficult intubation, but when several parameters are combined, their effectiveness as predictors of problems in prosthetics of the respiratory tract increases significantly, and in some cases these methods have greater prognostic value than the modified Mallampati score and the Kormack-Lehane score.
