Brief summary

This prospective observational study aims to develop an artificial intelligence model that can automatically determine the Cormack-Lehane classification from video laryngoscopy images in patients undergoing elective surgery. It also aims to predict the risk of difficult intubation based on this classification. The resulting data will evaluate the applicability of AI-supported decision support systems in clinical airway management.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Accuracy of Machine Learning Model in Predicting Difficult Intubation Based on Video Laryngoscopy ImagesImmediately after data collection and model trainingThe primary outcome is the classification accuracy of the machine learning algorithm in identifying difficult intubation cases (Cormack-Lehane grade 3-4) from video laryngoscopy images, compared with expert anesthesiologists' consensus. Accuracy will be reported as a percentage.
