What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ultrasound cervical explorationProcedure or surgery

    The cervical ultrasound exploration will consist in the ultrasound measurement of the length between the hyoid bone and the skin and the length between the thyroid cartilage and the skin. The ultrasound cervical exploration will be performed in all patients admitted in the postoperative room after a planned surgery performed under general anesthesia.

Receives: Procedure: Ultrasound cervical exploration

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sensibility, Specificity, predictive positive and negative values of US cervical measures relationship between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage with difficult intubation

    The measure of the length between the hyoid bone and the skin and between the thyroid cartilage and the skin will be measured using an ultrasound cervical exploration in all patients admitted in the postoperative room after planned surgery performed under general anesthesia.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sensibility, specificity and predictive positive and negative values of validated clinical criteria for difficult intubation

    The collect of usual clinical criteria of difficult intubation in postoperative room of patients who undergo a general anesthesia for a surgery

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Mortality and morbidity of difficult intubation

    Collect any complications (hypoxia, hypotension, tooth breakage) assigned to a difficult intubation during general anesthesia for surgery.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound cervical exploration in people with Intubation; Difficult, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensibility, Specificity, predictive positive and negative values of US cervical measures relationship between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage with difficult intubation (time frame: Day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Aug 2016.
