ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the way doctors predict and manage difficult airways during surgery, specifically for patients undergoing surgery for cervical spondylosis, which is a condition affecting the neck. The researchers are looking at different physical and imaging signs before surgery to create a reliable system that can alert doctors if a patient may have a difficult airway. This will help ensure that patients receive the best care and have safer surgeries.

To be eligible for this study, patients should be between 18 and 75 years old, generally healthy (classified as ASA I-III), and scheduled for elective surgery that requires general anesthesia and tracheal intubation. Unfortunately, those with specific conditions like cervical spine instability, airway diseases, or incomplete medical imaging cannot participate. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo evaluations that help assess your individual risk for a difficult airway, with the goal of improving surgical outcomes. Your participation will contribute to developing better tools for future patients facing similar surgeries.
