Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the use of a video classification index (VCI) for predicting and managing difficult intubation cases in surgical patients across Spain. It focuses on improving airway management protocols by utilizing videolaryngoscopy and a scoring system to enhance the standard of care. The study will involve patients undergoing scheduled surgeries over a six-month period, assessing the effectiveness of the VCI in real clinical settings. The findings could contribute to better training and preparedness for anesthesiologists facing difficult airway scenarios.
