What this trial studies
This observational study aims to develop an early warning and solution system for managing difficult airways during the perioperative period using artificial intelligence. It will enroll 16,000 participants undergoing endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia at Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital. The study will utilize 3D face scanning and voice recording to gather data, which will be analyzed and stored in a confidential database to enhance understanding and management of difficult airways. Anesthesiologists will complete a questionnaire post-intubation to provide additional insights.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients scheduled for endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia.
Not a fit: Patients with communication disorders, mental health issues, or severe injuries may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved safety and outcomes for patients undergoing anesthesia by better predicting and managing difficult airway situations.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of AI in airway management is a growing field, this specific approach is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
