New study: could body shape predict breathing tube challenges better than BMI?
NCT ID NCT07372846
First seen Jan 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a newer measure of body shape, called the Body Roundness Index (BRI), can better predict difficult airway placement during anesthesia in obese patients compared to standard BMI. Researchers will enroll 90 obese adults undergoing general anesthesia and compare BRI and BMI against the VIDAC score, a tool that rates how easy it is to see the vocal cords. The goal is to improve safety and planning for airway management in this population.
