Jaw Thrust Technique for Easier Breathing Tube Placement
This study tests whether a simple jaw-positioning technique (pushing the jaw forward) helps doctors place breathing tubes more easily during surgery using a special camera. If it works, it could make anesthesia safer and faster for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having planned (elective) surgery that requires general anesthesia (sleep medication)
- You are 18 years old or older
- You do not have a predicted difficult airway or conditions that make intubation (breathing tube placement) challenging
- You have not had previous surgery or structural problems affecting your throat, neck, or upper airway
- You do not have a high risk of food/stomach contents entering your lungs during anesthesia
- Your teeth are in generally good condition (not loose or weak)

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 small change in how doctors place a breathing tube for surgery. By gently rotating the tube before inserting it, they hope to reduce sore throats after surgery.
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.
This trial tests whether pressing on a specific part of the neck (cricoid pressure) helps doctors place a breathing tube more safely when using a camera (videolaryngoscopy) compared to the standard method (direct laryngoscopy).
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 tests two simple exams—ultrasound imaging and a jaw-bite test—to help doctors predict which obese patients may have difficulty with breathing tubes during surgery. The goal is to find safe, quick ways to identify airway challenges before anesthesia.
