Summary

This study aims to create a computer program that can predict how easy or hard it will be to place a breathing tube by analyzing photos of a patient's face. Researchers will take pictures from three angles and compare the computer's predictions to standard manual checks. If successful, this tool could help doctors prepare better and reduce complications during intubation.
