Summary

This study aims to create a portable, radiation-free software that uses facial recognition and neck movement analysis to predict how difficult it will be to place a breathing tube during anesthesia. Researchers will enroll 1800 adults undergoing planned surgery to test the software against expert assessments. The goal is to give anesthesiologists a reliable, objective tool to better prepare for each patient's airway needs.
