AI tool to predict difficult breathing tube placement using CT scans
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having surgery under general anesthesia that requires a breathing tube.
- You have had a CT scan of your head and neck.
- You agree to take part in this study.

This study tests whether ultrasound and a special imaging method (called TMH) can help doctors predict which patients might have difficulty with the breathing tube placed during surgery. Better prediction could make anesthesia safer.
This study tests a computer algorithm that helps plan the safest way to place a breathing tube for people with laryngeal cancer. It is for patients who need to be awake during this procedure.
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 trial uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict whether it will be difficult to place a breathing tube during weight-loss surgery. The goal is to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for patients with a high BMI.
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 trial tests if an artificial intelligence system can help doctors use ultrasound to confirm that a breathing tube (called an LMA) is placed correctly during surgery. If the AI works well, it might make anesthesia safer for patients.
