Summary

This study tested a new AI system designed to help doctors predict if a patient will have a 'difficult airway' before surgery. The system analyzes photos of a patient's mouth using deep learning. Researchers compared the AI's predictions to standard doctor assessments in 475 adults having elective surgery to see if it was more accurate and reliable.
