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.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) surgery that requires a breathing tube
- You are generally healthy or have mild health issues (ASA level 1 or 2)
- You do not smoke, chew tobacco, or have substance use problems
- You do not have dental issues like missing teeth, crowded teeth, or dentures

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 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.
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 trial studies how well a specific laryngoscope blade works when doctors place a breathing tube using direct laryngoscopy during general anesthesia. It may help doctors choose better equipment to make intubation easier and safer for the right patients.
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 uses a tiny camera on a tube (bronchoscopy) to check if a breathing device called a laryngeal mask is placed correctly in your airway during surgery. It may help doctors improve placement and your safety.
