Comparison of PeDiAC and the Intubation Difficulty Scale in Pediatric Patients Intubated With Videolaryngoscopy

This prospective observational study aims to compare the effectiveness of the Paediatric Videolaryngoscopic Intubation and Difficult Airway Classification (PeDiAC) and the Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS) in evaluating difficult tracheal intubation in pediatric patients aged 0 to 5 years. Patients undergoing general anesthesia with videolaryngoscopic intubation will be assessed using both scoring systems. The study seeks to determine which system more accurately reflects the difficulty of intubation and serves as a better guide for future anesthetic management, ultimately contributing to improved patient safety.
