Ultrasound airway check in severe preeclampsia patients for C-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of using ultrasound to look at the airway in women with severe preeclampsia who need a C-section under general anesthesia. It aims to find which technique is better, so doctors can prepare more safely for your breathing tube placement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are pregnant with one baby or more.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study.
- You have severe preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) and are scheduled for a C-section under general anesthesia.
- You are in good general health or have only mild to moderate health conditions (ASA I, II, or III).
- You do not have any known throat, neck, or face problems that would make placing a breathing tube difficult.

This study uses ultrasound to see the airway in children before surgery. It aims to predict if the child's airway will be easy or difficult to intubate (placing a breathing tube).
This trial uses ultrasound to measure children's airways before surgery, aiming to predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It could help doctors prepare better and keep kids safer during anesthesia.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the airway in pregnant women (with and without preeclampsia) and non-pregnant women. It helps doctors predict how easy or difficult it might be to place a breathing tube during delivery.
This trial compares using ultrasound of the airway versus standard physical exams to predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It's for adults having elective surgery with a breathing tube.
This study uses an ultrasound to look at the upper airway in adults having planned surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube. It may help doctors understand airway anatomy better.
This study compares two methods—ultrasound of the upper airway and standard physical measurements—to predict which patients may have a difficult airway during surgery. The goal is to find a more reliable way to prepare for safe anesthesia.
