Ultrasound airway test for children having planned surgery
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Child is 2 to 5 years old.
- Child is male or female.

- Child is having planned surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube.
- No recent face or jaw injury.
- No large growth or scar under the chin.
- No prior neck surgery or birth defects of the head and neck.

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 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.
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 looks at how doctors manage the airways of children (ages 1 to 4) during planned surgeries. It aims to learn about the best ways to safely place a breathing tube. If your child is healthy enough and having surgery that needs a tube, this study may help improve care for kids with similar challenges.
This trial uses ultrasound to check for difficult airways in children aged 3-8 who are having planned surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer and more predictable.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the airway and a special score (PeDiAC) in children getting breathing tubes for planned surgeries. The goal is to see if ultrasound can help doctors predict or manage the airway better.
