Reliable prediction of difficult airway for tracheal intubation from patient preoperative photographs by machine learning methods
Background Estimating the risk of a difficult tracheal intubation should help clinicians in better anaesthesia planning, to maximize patient safety. Routine bedside screenings suffer from low sensitivity.
Objective To develop and evaluate machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms for the reliable prediction of intubation risk, using information about airway morphology.
