This study compares how well a specific breathing tube placement tool (Airtraq) works in men who are obese versus men who are not, during planned surgeries. It may help improve the safety and ease of putting in a breathing tube.
The trial tests whether turning the head to the left during a video-guided breathing tube placement helps doctors see the airway better in adults with obesity. If it works, it could make intubation safer and easier for people with higher BMI.
This study compares different videolaryngoscopes for airway management during bariatric surgery in people with severe obesity, aiming to improve safety and ease of intubation.
This trial compares two devices (Airway Scope and GlideScope) used to place a breathing tube during surgery in people with severe obesity. If you qualify, the study will help find which tool works best for patients like you.
This study tests a new checklist to better predict which obese patients may have a harder time placing a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to help doctors prepare and keep patients safe under anesthesia.
This study tests a new device called the Origin Intubation System, which helps doctors place a breathing tube during surgery. If you qualify, you may have this device used during your operation to help you breathe while you are asleep.
