Ultrasound airway test for safer intubation
This trial uses an ultrasound to measure parts of your airway before a breathing tube is placed. The goal is to see if these measurements can help doctors predict and avoid difficult intubations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for surgery where a breathing tube will be placed while you are asleep.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health issues (ASA score I–III).
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have any known airway problems, head or neck tumors, or facial injuries.

This study uses ultrasound to look at the airway and a special score (PeDiAC) in children getting breathing tubes for planned surgeries. The goal is to see if ultrasound can help doctors predict or manage the airway better.
This trial compares using ultrasound of the airway versus standard physical exams to predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It's for adults having elective surgery with a breathing tube.
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 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 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 trial uses ultrasound to measure children's airways before surgery, aiming to predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It could help doctors prepare better and keep kids safer during anesthesia.
