First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether measuring the strength of a muscle twitch in the wrist can help doctors decide the best time to insert a breathing tube during anesthesia. About 108 adults will be randomly assigned to one of three twitch-strength targets. The goal is to find the twitch level that leads to the smoothest tube placement.
