Summary

This study looks at data from 423 adults having surgery to create a new, more accurate way to predict when facemask ventilation (helping a patient breathe) might be difficult. The goal is to replace current guesswork with a simple, objective score that doctors can use to prepare and keep patients safe during anesthesia.
