Predicting difficult awake breathing tube placement
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a way to predict which patients will have a hard time placing a breathing tube while they are awake, using a flexible scope. It aims to help doctors plan safer procedures for people with known difficult airways.

This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube in patients who have a difficult airway and need surgery. One method goes through the mouth, the other through the nose, both while you are awake. The goal is to see which method you prefer.
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 how hard it is to place a breathing tube using a special camera-guided laryngoscope during planned surgery. It aims to create a scoring system to help doctors prepare for potential challenges.
This study tests whether ultrasound scans and simple body measurements can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube during surgery might be difficult. If successful, it could help doctors plan safer anesthesia care.
This study looks at how the size and shape of your mouth and throat affect how doctors place a breathing tube (video laryngoscopy). It aims to find simple bedside measurements that predict how easy the tube will be to insert, which could improve planning before surgery.
This study tests a new checklist to better predict which obese patients may have a harder time placing a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to help doctors prepare and keep patients safe under anesthesia.
