First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study will test whether measuring the height from chin to neck (thyromental height) or using ultrasound to see neck tissues can better predict when placing a breathing tube will be hard. Researchers will watch 240 adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to find a quick, non-invasive way to spot potential airway problems before they happen.
