AI ultrasound check for breathing tube placement
This trial tests if an artificial intelligence system can help doctors use ultrasound to confirm that a breathing tube (called an LMA) is placed correctly during surgery. If the AI works well, it might make anesthesia safer for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You are scheduled for elective (planned, not emergency) surgery with general anesthesia.
- Your doctor plans to use a breathing tube called an LMA (laryngeal mask airway) to help you breathe.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (classified as ASA I-III).
- You are not pregnant and do not have severe anatomical issues in your neck or airway.

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 trial tests if artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors choose the best air pressure settings for people on breathing machines in the ICU. It aims to improve care for adults who need help breathing.
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to look at CT scan images of your head and neck to predict if putting a breathing tube in will be difficult. The goal is to help doctors plan safer care.
This trial uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict whether it will be difficult to place a breathing tube during weight-loss surgery. The goal is to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for patients with a high BMI.
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 if an AI program can help doctors quickly spot problems with breathing tubes, feeding tubes, or collapsed lungs on chest X-rays. It may help patients in emergency or intensive care who need these tubes or are on a ventilator.
