If successful, this could lead to a tool that helps doctors predict difficult intubations more accurately, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to all patients or settings, and the prediction model may not be accurate enough for routine use.
