AI-based Prediction Model of Difficult Tracheal Intubation Using Medical Image Parameters

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Difficult Airway

• Registration Number: NCT06982144
• Lead Sponsor: Mu Dong Liang

Brief Summary

Difficult airway is a life-threatening event during anesthesia. Prediction model is helpful to detect high-risk patients and decrease the risk of un-anticipated difficult airway. Present models are usually based on Mallampati grade and the width of mouth open. However, the prediction accuracy is only about 0.7-0.8 in different populations. Present study is designed to investigate if AI-based prediction model using medical imaging parameters (such as CT and MRI) can increase the accuracy of prediction model.
