Evaluating difficult airways with ultrasound in children
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 8 years old.
- Your child's physical status is rated ASA 1 or 2 (generally healthy or with mild disease).
- Your child is scheduled for a surgery that is not an emergency.
- Your child will be intubated through the mouth (orotracheal intubation).
- Your child does not have any congenital anomalies of the head, face, or body.

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 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 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.
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 tests if an ultrasound of the neck can help doctors predict when it might be harder to place a breathing tube in a child. It could make anesthesia safer for children having planned surgery.
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.
