U.S., Jan. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07366177) titled 'Can the "Face Index"; an Anthropometric Measurement, Predict Difficult Laryngoscopy and Intubation?' on Jan. 18.
Brief Summary: Patient safety is the cornerstone of anesthetic practice, and maintaining adequate respiration represents its most critical initial step. In situations where spontaneous breathing cannot be sustained-such as during general anesthesia-the airway must be mechanically secured. While simple face masks may be sufficient in some cases, endotracheal intubation remains the most reliable method for airway control in conditions associated with respiratory depression.
Airway management may be challenging due to vario...
