DIFFICULT INTUBATION

This study looks at whether measuring the airway with ultrasound before surgery can help predict if placing a breathing tube using a video laryngoscope will be difficult. Researchers will compare ultrasound measurements to a standard difficulty score in 100 adults aged 18 to 80 u…

This study looks at whether ultrasound measurements of the airway can help predict which children will have a difficult time with breathing tube placement during surgery. Researchers will compare ultrasound images to a standard scoring system in 70 children aged 1-18. If ultrasou…

This study examines how often patients have a difficult time placing a breathing tube during prostate surgery called HoLEP. Researchers look back at medical records of 300 patients to find out which factors, such as weight, prostate size, or certain medications, may increase the …

This study observes 150 infants and toddlers having cleft lip or palate repair to understand how often breathing complications occur and what factors increase risk. Researchers will use standard airway scoring tools to see if they can predict problems like laryngospasm or low oxy…

This study looks at whether ultrasound can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube will be difficult in people with acromegaly who are having pituitary surgery. Researchers will measure distances in the airway using ultrasound and compare them to standard physical exam…
