Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Airway Management

Background: Unanticipated difficult airways remain a leading cause of anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality, with traditional bedside predictors demonstrating limited sensitivity. Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as a non-invasive adjunct offering real-time visualization and quantitative measurement of airway anatomy. This narrative review, structured according to the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA), synthesizes current evidence on POCUS as an ad...
