Ultrasound for Difficult Intubation in Acromegaly Patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if ultrasound can help doctors predict and manage difficult breathing tube placement in people with acromegaly who are having pituitary surgery. It may help avoid complications during anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have acromegaly and are scheduled for endoscopic pituitary surgery.
- You are willing to volunteer for the study.
- Your health status is classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3 (low to moderate risk for anesthesia).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 40.
- You have not had previous neck surgery, tracheostomy, or radiation to the neck.
- You have no masses or lesions in your mouth or airway, and your neck can move freely.

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 uses an ultrasound to measure parts of your airway before a breathing tube is placed. The goal is to see if these measurements can help doctors predict and avoid difficult intubations.
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 compares two methods—ultrasound imaging and physical examination—to predict whether anesthesia will be challenging in obese patients undergoing surgery. Understanding which method works better could help doctors prepare for safer anesthesia.
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.
This trial studies whether using an ultrasound of the front of the neck can help doctors predict if a breathing tube will be difficult to place in patients who are overweight or obese. The goal is to improve safety during general anesthesia for planned surgeries.
