ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the safety of patients undergoing general anesthesia, which often requires a procedure called tracheal intubation to help them breathe. Researchers are developing new technologies that use images and videos to automatically identify features in a person's anatomy that could make intubation more difficult. By accurately recognizing these features before surgery, the medical team can better prepare and adjust their approach, ultimately helping to prevent complications and improve patient safety.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult (15 years or older) who requires intubation for general anesthesia. If you agree to join, you may be involved in testing this new technology. It's important to know that if you do not want to participate, you can simply refuse, and that is completely okay. The study is currently looking for volunteers, and both men and women are welcome to apply. This research aims to enhance the care provided to patients like you during surgeries involving anesthesia.
