Voice test to predict difficult breathing tube placement
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study uses a simple voice recording to see if your voice can help predict whether placing a breathing tube during surgery might be more difficult. It aims to make anesthesia safer for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery that will use general anesthesia and a breathing tube.
- You do not have a speech or pronunciation disorder (like vocal cord problems, cleft palate, or facial deformities).
- You do not have hearing loss that makes communication difficult.
- You do not have a brain or nervous system condition that affects your speech.
- Your doctor has not said you cannot have a standard breathing tube placed (for example, due to certain health conditions).

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.
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 study compares two methods (a special camera called a videolaryngoscope and an ultrasound) to help doctors choose the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make airway management safer and more personalized for patients like you.
This study tests if using ultrasound with routine checks can better predict the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make intubation safer and more successful.
This study compares two ways to predict difficulty during breathing tube placement for general anesthesia. One method uses a simple neck ultrasound measurement, and the other uses a standard mouth exam; the goal is to see if adding ultrasound helps doctors plan safer intubation.
