Ultrasound before surgery may help spot tough intubations
NCT ID NCT07628868
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether ultrasound measurements of the airway before surgery can help predict when placing a breathing tube will be difficult using a videolaryngoscope. Researchers will test 350 adults undergoing elective surgery to find new cut-off values that could improve prediction. The goal is to make intubation safer and more successful.
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 doctors better predict difficult airways before surgery, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to all patients or settings, and the new cut-off values need further validation.
