Summary

Although many researchers would agree that obesity per se is not a risk factor for difficult intubation, there are many well known obesity-related challenges in airway management including difficulty with mask ventilation, more frequent and rapid oxygen desaturation, increased oxygen consumption, and increased sensitivity to the respiratory depressant effects of anesthetic and analgesic drugs. Hence, in these conditions, rapid and nontraumatic intubation gain higher interest. There is controversy about using videoaryngoscopy (VL) in obese patients in these difficult situations. The primary aim of this study is to compare, in terms of intubation time, VL,VL plus stylet and direct-laryngoscopy(DL) plus stylet combination with DL alone in obese patients.
