Anesthesia breakthrough: new score could predict breathing tube challenges
NCT ID NCT07275502
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study analyzes data from 423 patients to develop a new scoring system called MASCAN, which aims to predict when facemask ventilation will be difficult during anesthesia. Researchers will test how well the score works by comparing it to actual events recorded in patient charts. The goal is to give anesthesiologists a simple, objective tool to anticipate and manage airway problems.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a reliable tool to predict and prepare for difficult mask ventilation, improving patient safety during anesthesia.
What could go wrong
This is an observational analysis, not a treatment trial. The score may not work perfectly in all patients or settings, and it won't directly change care until further testing.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
