Your voice may reveal hidden airway risks before surgery

NCT ID NCT07278232

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study explores whether the sound of your voice can help doctors predict if placing a breathing tube during surgery will be difficult. Researchers will record 300 patients saying vowel sounds before surgery and use machine learning to find voice patterns linked to airway anatomy. The goal is to create a quick, non-invasive screening tool to improve patient safety.

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 lead to a simple, painless voice test to help doctors identify patients who may have a difficult airway before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 300 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The voice patterns might not reliably predict difficult intubation in practice.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients scheduled for elective general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with speech and pronunciation disorders (vocal cord diseases, cleft palate, craniofacial deformities, extensive tooth defects, cleft lip). * Hearing impairment (difficulty in communication, inaccurate repetition). * Patients with central nervous system diseases causing significant pronunciation abnormalities. * Patients contraindicated for direct laryngoscopy (e.g., post-chemotherapy in the pharynx, diseases prone to mucosal bleeding, etc.) that affect group allocation, as well as those unable to complete the recording or temporarily reassigned to other anesthesia methods.
