Summary

This study develops a tool using 3D-CT scans to predict if infants with Pierre Robin sequence (a condition where the jaw is small and the tongue falls back) will have a difficult time placing a breathing tube during surgery. Researchers will measure two specific airway features on the scans and test how well they predict difficulty. The goal is to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for these babies.
