New study tests STOP-BANG questionnaire to predict airway trouble in obese surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07493356
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the STOP-BANG questionnaire, along with other simple tests, can predict if an obese patient will have trouble with a breathing tube during surgery. Researchers will check how well these tools work in 233 adults with a BMI of 30 or higher. The goal is to improve safety by identifying high-risk patients before they go under anesthesia.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better predict airway problems in obese patients before surgery, potentially improving safety.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the questionnaire may not be accurate enough to change practice.
