This study uses an ultrasound to look at the upper airway in adults having planned surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube. It may help doctors understand airway anatomy better.
This study uses an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
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 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.
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 looks at how useful ultrasound is during common throat procedures done in the doctor's office. It may help with nerve blocks, injections for voice or swallow problems, or just to learn more about throat anatomy.
