AI face scanner could predict breathing tube problems before surgery
NCT ID NCT07411495
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new AI system that uses a 3D scan of a patient's face to help doctors predict if inserting a breathing tube will be difficult. About 1000 adults having surgery will participate. The goal is to see if the AI can accurately identify potential airway problems, making procedures safer.
