Predicting airway trouble: a study in septoplasty patients

NCT ID NCT06884592

First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates how often difficult intubation occurs in patients undergoing surgery for a deviated nasal septum (septoplasty) and what factors might predict it. Researchers will assess 300 adults using the Cormack-Lehane scale to classify intubation difficulty. The goal is to improve preoperative planning and reduce airway complications.

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 anesthesiologists better predict difficult airways in septoplasty patients, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all surgical populations.
