Determination of the Frequency and Predictors of Difficult Intubation in Septoplasty Operations

Determination of difficult intubation, according to the Cormack-Lehane scale, intubation will be considered easy for grade I or II and difficult for grade III or IV. If intubation could not be performed with the Macintosh laryngoscope in three attempts, the next step would be to perform intubation with the videolaryngoscope and the third step would be to place the laryngeal mask airway (LMA). The correct position of the tube in the trachea will be confirmed after intubation, preferably by visual confirmation of the tube passing through the glottic opening, auscultation of the chest with a stethoscope and a normal capnograph. If the LMA attempt fails, the patient will be allowed to awaken, with the final step being ventilation using a face mask and consideration of reversing the muscle relaxant effect with sugammadex (4-5 mg/kg). If intubation fails on the first attempt, an intubation stylet will be used if necessary. The intubation method used, total number of attempts for successful i
