Your face shape might predict anesthesia risks, study says
NCT ID NCT07366177
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether simple face measurements, like the 'face index,' can predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult during anesthesia. Researchers will measure 1,000 adults before surgery and compare those measurements to how easy or hard intubation is. The goal is to find a quick, noninvasive way to spot potential airway problems and improve patient safety.
