Predicting difficult breathing tube placement in septoplasty surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at factors that may predict difficult intubation (placing a breathing tube) in people having septoplasty surgery. It aims to find out how common this is and what signs might help doctors prepare better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old
- Be in good general health (ASA I or ASA II) – meaning no serious medical conditions
- Be scheduled for septoplasty surgery (to fix a deviated septum) under general anesthesia
- Have no history of facial trauma or a birth defect affecting the face or skull
- Be able to have easy mask ventilation (breathing through a mask) during the procedure

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 study compares two methods—a standard risk score (El Ganzouri index) and an ultrasound exam—to predict how easy it will be to place a breathing tube during weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find the best way to keep patients safe during anesthesia.
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 different assessment tools doctors use to predict whether a patient might have difficulty placing a breathing tube during anesthesia. By participating, you help researchers understand which prediction methods work best, which could improve safety for future patients.
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 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.
