First seen Apr 03, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study aims to create a computer program that can predict how easy or difficult it will be to insert a breathing tube by analyzing digital photos of a patient's face from three angles. Researchers will enroll 3,500 people who need a breathing tube and compare the computer's predictions to current manual methods. If successful, this tool could help doctors prepare better and reduce complications.
