Face measurements to predict breathing tube difficulty
This study checks if simple face measurements can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube will be harder, which can improve safety during general anesthesia.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to have surgery with general anesthesia
- You have not had a difficult airway before
