Ultrasonography-guided measurements of soft tissue distances were performed in the preoperative evaluation room. The distance between the hyoid bone and skin, distance between vocal chord anterior commissure and skin, distance between the trachea and the skin at the level of the suprasternal notch, distance between the thyroid isthmus and skin, and distance between epiglottis and skin were measured.
