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 compares three different scales used to measure how difficult it is to place a breathing tube using a video laryngoscope (a special camera tool) in children. It may help determine the best way to predict and manage airway challenges during surgery.
This study compares two methods—a standard risk score (El Ganzouri index) and an ultrasound exam—to predict how easy it will be to place a breathing tube during weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find the best way to keep patients safe during anesthesia.
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 compares different videolaryngoscopes for airway management during bariatric surgery in people with severe obesity, aiming to improve safety and ease of intubation.
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.
