This study looks at whether adding a quick, painless ultrasound measurement of the neck to a standard mouth exam can better predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. About 160 adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia will be randomly assigned to either …

This study watches 362 adults having planned surgery to see how the pressure from their breathing tube affects their throat. Researchers will track symptoms like hoarseness, sore throat, and cough for up to 30 days after surgery. The goal is to create a simple score to predict an…

This study will compare two devices used to help patients breathe during planned surgeries: the video laryngeal mask and the video laryngoscope. Researchers will measure how quickly and successfully each device places the breathing tube. About 176 adults having elective surgery w…

This study will observe 150 adults undergoing rapid sequence induction, a common emergency anesthesia technique, to measure pain using a special monitor called the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI). Researchers want to see how pain levels change during the procedure and what comp…

This study will watch and record how doctors place breathing tubes in 1,200 emergency room patients across Taiwan. The goal is to track safety problems like low oxygen or heart issues during the procedure. No new treatments are tested—doctors will follow their usual care. The fin…

This study compares two methods for placing a breathing tube in children having surgery: a video laryngoscope (camera) versus a direct laryngoscope (no camera). The goal is to see which method leads to successful tube placement on the first attempt. Over 5,500 children from multi…
