Three-dimensional Craniofacial Phenotyping of Patients With Difficult Airway
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Failed or Difficult Intubation
In brief
The purpose of this study is to identify differences in craniofacial morphology and tongue size between patients who have a history of difficult airway management and a control group of patients who had an uneventful airway management during induction of general anesthesia. In this study the investigators want to validate the hypothesis that there are craniofacial phenotypic differences between patients who have a history of difficult airway management and a control group of patients who have had an uneventful airway management during the induction of general anesthesia.
