Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the GlideScope ® and the Fastrach TM for intubation of morbidly obese. Mainly we will try to clarify which of the instruments that produce the shortest intubationtime and lowest number of intubationattempts.

The hypothesis is that intubation would be 1) quicker and 2) with the lowest number of attempts, using the GlideScope®.
