Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Tracheal intubation, particularly before surgery, is traditionally done in supine position. It was shown in the general population and in obese patients in particular, that the pre-oxygenation in a 25° head-up position provided a better efficiency of the pre-oxygenation and an apnea time longer. This position would also allow for better intubation conditions in direct laryngoscopy.

The investigators intend to assess two different patient's intubation position : supine position and 25° head-up position

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Placebo Comparator: supine position

Patients are placed in the supine position at 0° from arrival in the room until intubation

Procedure: Intubation position
The investigators assess two different patient's intubation position : supine position and 25° head-up position looking at the intubation score (POGO score).

Active Comparator: 25° head-up position

Patients are placed in the 25° head-up position (half-seat or whole body proclive) from arrival in the room until intubation.

Procedure: Intubation position
The investigators assess two different patient's intubation position : supine position and 25° head-up position looking at the intubation score (POGO score).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. POGO score [at day 1]

    valid score observed by the anesthetist performing intubation at the time of intubation. POGO score means Percentage of Glottic Opening : from 0% (none visualization of the glottic opening, worst result) to 100% (complete visualization of the glottic opening, best result), from the anterior curvature of the vocal cords to the interarytenoid node, between the posterior cartilage

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Cormack-Lehane grade [at day 1]

    another valid score observed by the anesthetist performing intubation at the time of intubation. It classifies views obtained by direct laryngoscopy based on the structures seen. From 1 (best result) to 4 (worst result). 1 : full view of glottis (POGO 100%) / 2 : partial view of glottis / 3 : only epiglottis seen, none of glottis seen (POGO 0%) / 4 : Neither glottis nor epiglottis seen (POGO 0%).

  2. Intubation operator's comfort [at day 1]

    visual analog scale about the operator's comfort during intubation. It's a subjective score. It's an evaluation of the comfort of the intubation position from 0 to 10, where 0 is a total discomfort, a painful, very uncomfortable position and 10 is an optimal, very comfortable position.

  3. Episodes of desaturation and episodes of hypotension [at ady 1]

    SpO2 <90% or MAP <65mmHg or drop> 20% of the patient's baseline SBP

  4. Mechanical complications of intubation: [at day 1]

    laryngeal pain, hoarseness, upper airway trauma

  5. Patient height [at day 1]

    at the tragus of the ear during intubation.
