Ultrasound to help predict difficult breathing tube placement in children
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound (a painless imaging technique) before surgery to help doctors find the best way to place a breathing tube in children. It may help make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for kids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 3 and 8 years old.
- You are generally healthy (only mild health issues, if any).
- Your surgery is planned ahead of time, not an emergency.
- You do not have birth defects affecting the head, face, or body.
- The breathing tube will be placed through your mouth (the usual way).

This study uses ultrasound to look at your child's airway before surgery to see if placing the breathing tube might be difficult. The goal is to help doctors plan better and keep your child safe during anesthesia.
This study uses ultrasound to look at children's airways before planned surgery under general anesthesia. It aims to help doctors better predict the right size of breathing tube, which could reduce complications.
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 an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
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 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).
