Study Of An Assessment To Predict Which People Might Have A Difficult Airway To Manage During Surgery

Description

Seeking men and women with either normal airways or airways that have been difficult to manage while under anesthesia for a study of a voice test that might reliably predict if someone's airway may be difficult to manage during an operation.

Overview

We are studying whether a simple voice study in which people say several sounds into a microphone could alert a doctor caring for people in the operating room to use the extra precautions needed for people with a difficult airway.

What we're hoping for

Evaluate a voice analysis test that might predict which patients would have a difficult airway to manage in the operating room.
