Brief Summary
In the "PrediSuisse" research project, the investigators aim to create a reliable, reproducible, ultra-portable and radiation-free automatized software, able to identify automatically collected features, facial characteristics, and range of movements, to predict intubation difficulty. The software will generate a difficulty intubation score tailored to three commercially available videolaryngoscopes with different type of blades, corresponding to the predicted endotracheal intubation difficulty while providing the anaesthesiologist a reliable and non-subjective tool to assess individual patient's risks with regards to airway management.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (≥ 18 years old) presenting at the pre-anesthesia consult for an elective general anesthesia necessitating a tracheal intubation * Signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients not speaking French (in Geneva and Lausanne) or Italian (in Lugano). * Patients previously operated on the airway with anatomical modifications (ENT Flaps, tracheotomies). * Patients unable to follow procedures or to give consent will also be excluded.
