Ultrasound may predict tough intubations before surgery

NCT ID NCT07609147

First seen Jun 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 08, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether an ultrasound measurement of the skin-to-epiglottis distance in the neck can help predict if a patient will have a difficult airway during surgery. Researchers will measure this distance in 300 adults having planned surgery and compare it to standard airway checks. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive test can improve safety and planning for airway management.
