Ultrasound could make intubation safer for pregnant women
NCT ID NCT07423741
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study compares airway measurements using ultrasound among three groups: nonpregnant women, pregnant women with normal blood pressure, and pregnant women with preeclampsia. Researchers will measure distances from the skin to key airway structures and assess laryngoscopic views. The goal is to identify differences that could help anesthesiologists anticipate difficult intubations in these patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help anesthesiologists better predict difficult airways in pregnant and preeclamptic patients, potentially reducing complications during intubation.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures airway differences and does not test any intervention or outcome improvement.
