Experts agree on best ways to manage difficult airways in cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study asks a panel of international experts to agree on the best ways to manage difficult airways in cancer patients. If you are a specialist with at least five years of experience caring for cancer patients with airway problems, your opinion could help shape future guidelines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a doctor or specialist who regularly works with cancer patients who have airway problems in anesthesia, intensive care, lung procedures, head and neck surgery, or emergency care.
- You have been practicing on your own for at least five years after finishing your specialist training.
- You have shared your knowledge through research papers, invited talks, or a leadership role in a medical society or guideline group.
- You are willing to complete several rounds of surveys and review the final report.
- You can read and write in English well enough to complete the surveys without help.
- You are not a Steering Committee member and are not testing the first survey.
