Automated assessment of difficult airway before surgery
This study tests an automated tool to help doctors assess your airway before surgery, aiming to make breathing tube placement safer. It is for adults who are already scheduled for general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for surgery involving general anesthesia with a breathing tube
- You speak French or Italian (depending on the study location)
- You have not had any past surgery that changed the shape of your airway
- You are able to follow procedures and give your own consent
