Abstract : This study is performed to assess the ability of an index: the ratio of Neck Circumference/Thyromental Distance (NC/TM), to predict difficult airways in obese patients and to develop a predictor for difficult intubation that is simple and easy to perform with high specificity and sensitivity compared with established indices.

Keywords : Obesity, Difficultintubation, Neck Circumference to Thyromental Distance ratio.
