NCT ID NCT06700265
First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a neck ultrasound can help doctors predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. Researchers observed 246 adult patients who needed general anesthesia with a breathing tube. They measured different parts of the neck using ultrasound and compared them to how easy or hard it was to place the tube. The goal was to find a simple, non-invasive way to prepare for tricky intubations.
