Last updated 2022-06-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

An anaesthetist inserts a "laryngoscope" into the mouth to see the voice-box (larynx) for "tracheal intubation", when a tube is advanced into the windpipe (trachea) to protect the airway and administer anaesthetic gases.

This study aims to compare traditional (direct view) Macintosh (MAC) laryngoscopy with Storz C-MAC videolaryngoscopes in subjects presenting for obesity reduction surgery using a novel "photographic overlay technique" to analyse the basis for any differences.
