First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
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 the standard mouth exam alone or the mouth exam plus the ultrasound. The goal is to see which method is more accurate, which could help doctors prepare and improve patient safety.
