Predicting difficult airway in children before surgery
This study looks at ways to predict if putting a breathing tube in a child's windpipe during planned surgery will be difficult. It aims to help doctors prepare better and keep children safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 0 and 12 years old
- Your child is having a planned surgery that requires a breathing tube into the windpipe
- Your child is generally healthy, or has only mild to moderate medical conditions (ASA class I, II, or III)
- You or a legal guardian can agree to the study by signing a consent form

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).
This study measures how often difficult airways occur during heart or blood vessel surgery and builds a way to predict them beforehand. It may help your care team prepare for safer airway management during your procedure.
This study looks at how hard it is to place a breathing tube using a special camera-guided laryngoscope during planned surgery. It aims to create a scoring system to help doctors prepare for potential challenges.
This study compares two methods—ultrasound of the upper airway and standard physical measurements—to predict which patients may have a difficult airway during surgery. The goal is to find a more reliable way to prepare for safe anesthesia.
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 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.
