Summary

This study looked at whether using an ultrasound on the neck can help doctors predict if placing a breathing tube (intubation) will be difficult. It involved 246 adult patients who needed general anesthesia. The researchers measured different neck structures with ultrasound and compared them to the view during intubation to see if the ultrasound could be a useful prediction tool.
