Comparison of Airtraq in Class 2-3 Obese and Nonobese Men During Intubation: a Prospective Randomized Clinical Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Morbid obesity is a growing disease. Intubations of these patients mostly difficult. Video laryngoscopes have to be used during the intubation of these patients. The intubation of men is more complicated and difficult than obese women. There were no trials compared to the new video laryngoscopes in morbidly obese men. Patients will be divided into two groups; non-obese and klas 2-3 obese. Airtraq will be used for their intubation. The time for intubation will be the primary aim of this prospective randomized study. The insertion time, perioperative hemodynamic variables, and postoperative complications will also be recorded.

The insertion time, need of optimization menuvers, perioperative hemodynamic variables, and postoperative complications will also be recorded.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- intubation time [50 seconds]
the intubation time will be recorded beginning the insertion of the Airtraq through the mouth still the endotracheal tube seen passing through the vocal cords
Secondary Outcome Measures
- insertion time [20 seconds]
inserting the Airtraq through the mouth till the optimal glottic vizualization occurred
- peroperative hemodynamic variable [4 hours]
heart rate
