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 scans and simple body measurements can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube during surgery might be difficult. If successful, it could help doctors plan safer anesthesia care.
This study looks at patients in the ICU who have been on a breathing machine. It tests whether a simple ultrasound along with a standard test can help predict if the patient will breathe well after the tube is removed, potentially preventing complications.
This study tests an AI tool that uses your head and neck CT scan images to help doctors predict whether placing a breathing tube during surgery might be difficult. This could help them plan safer anesthesia for you.
This study tests a new scoring method using ultrasound to help doctors place a breathing tube during general anesthesia. It aims to reduce complications and make the process safer for patients.
This study checks how well a soft breathing device (laryngeal mask) sits in children during surgery using ultrasound, and if any problems occur afterward. It may help doctors make anesthesia safer for kids.
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.
