Automated assessment of difficult airway before surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- 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

This study is testing a new scoring system to help doctors predict if placing a breathing tube or giving oxygen through a mask will be difficult. It includes adults having general anesthesia for stomach or bone surgery.
This study is testing a new way to predict whether placing a breathing tube will be difficult during surgery. It combines different measurements to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for you.
This study looks at ways to predict if putting a breathing tube in a child's windpipe during planned surgery will be difficult. It aims to help doctors prepare better and keep children safe.
This study measures how often difficult airways occur during heart or blood vessel surgery and builds a way to predict them beforehand. It may help your care team prepare for safer airway management during your procedure.
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to look at CT scan images of your head and neck to predict if putting a breathing tube in will be difficult. The goal is to help doctors plan safer care.
This study compares two ways to predict difficulty during breathing tube placement for general anesthesia. One method uses a simple neck ultrasound measurement, and the other uses a standard mouth exam; the goal is to see if adding ultrasound helps doctors plan safer intubation.
