Comparing Methods to Predict Difficult Breathing Tube Placement
This study compares different assessment tools doctors use to predict whether a patient might have difficulty placing a breathing tube during anesthesia. By participating, you help researchers understand which prediction methods work best, which could improve safety for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You must be willing and able to participate in the study
- You must be able to move your neck freely without pain or stiffness
- You must be able to open your mouth wide enough (at least the width of three of your fingers)

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 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 tests a way to predict which patients will have a hard time placing a breathing tube while they are awake, using a flexible scope. It aims to help doctors plan safer procedures for people with known difficult airways.
This study is testing a new scoring system to help doctors predict if placing a breathing tube or giving oxygen through a mask will be difficult. It includes adults having general anesthesia for stomach or bone surgery.
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 checks if simple face measurements can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube will be harder, which can improve safety during general anesthesia.
