Airway check using neck measurements
This study looks at how neck size relates to airway management during surgery. It may help doctors prepare better for placing a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether combining an ultrasound of the neck with a simple bite test can help doctors predict if a breathing tube will be hard to place in people with obesity. If you are scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia, this study may help improve your safety.
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 looks at how well a standard laryngoscope blade works for guiding a breathing tube during anesthesia in people who have no expected airway problems. It aims to see if the blade fits well and works as intended.
This study looks at how differences in the throat and face affect the placement of a breathing tube used during surgery. It may help doctors choose the right size or position for better breathing support during procedures.
This study looks at how the size and shape of your mouth and throat affect how doctors place a breathing tube (video laryngoscopy). It aims to find simple bedside measurements that predict how easy the tube will be to insert, which could improve planning before surgery.
This study tests whether using an ultrasound measurement of the neck, along with a standard mouth exam, can better predict when placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It may help doctors prepare better for surgery.
