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.
