First seen Mar 05, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a simple, no-radiation throat ultrasound can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube in a baby (under 1 year old) will be hard. Researchers will watch 180 babies during planned surgeries to see if the ultrasound matches actual tube placement difficulty. The goal is to make anesthesia safer for the youngest patients.
