The Effect of Different Videolaryngoscopes on Intubation Success in Obese Patients

Completed

• Conditions: Difficult Airway, Videolaryngoscopes
• Interventions: Device: c-mac laryngoscope

• Registration Number: NCT03402581
• Lead Sponsor: Ankara University

Brief Summary

Obese patients may have difficulty in airway management.Patients who have body mass index \> 35 are challenging patients for anesthesiologist.
