Ultrasound could spot dangerous airway problems before surgery
NCT ID NCT06701253
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether ultrasound measurements of the neck can help doctors predict if a patient will be hard to ventilate or intubate during surgery. About 500 adults having planned surgery with general anesthesia will get standard checks plus an ultrasound before the procedure. The goal is to see if ultrasound can spot risks that current tests miss, potentially preventing life-threatening emergencies.
