New ultrasound scan aims to make surgery safer for patients with rare hormone disorder

NCT ID NCT07306325

Summary

This study aims to see if using an ultrasound scan on the neck, along with a standard physical check-up, can better predict which patients with acromegaly will have a difficult time having a breathing tube placed for surgery. It will involve 34 adults with acromegaly who are scheduled for pituitary gland surgery. The goal is to improve patient safety by helping doctors prepare for potential airway challenges before surgery begins.
