Summary

This study will observe nearly 5000 adult surgical patients to develop a better way to predict when placing a breathing tube with a video laryngoscope might be difficult. Researchers will create a new scoring system for the view of the voice box and compare it to existing methods. The goal is to help doctors anticipate problems and improve patient safety during anesthesia.
