Comparing Airway Scope and GlideScope for Intubation in Obese Patients
This study is comparing two devices, Airway Scope and GlideScope, used by anesthesiologists to help place a breathing tube (intubation) during surgery. It focuses on adult patients who are obese (Body Mass Index of 40 or greater) and are already scheduled for general anesthesia. Researchers want to see which device allows for faster intubation. Success in this study is measured by how quickly the intubation is completed. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and aims to enroll 70 participants. You cannot join if you are pregnant, have certain facial or airway issues, or have a history of major neck surgery, tracheostomy, or specific lung or heart conditions.
