bmı \> 35 morbidly obese patients requiring endotracheal intubation enrolled in this trial. Divided into two groups Airtraq and ILMA. their effectiveness is evaluated.

Detailed Description

80 patients, 18-65 years of aged ASA I-III, BMI\> 35 patients enrolled in this trial.

Divided into two groups ; Airtraq and ILMA .

BMI\>35, upper airway tumour , respiratory infection less than ten days, excluded from this study.

patients demographic and airway variables were recoded. Patients were premedicated. After standard anesthesia induction, anesthesia was induced with propofol and fentanyl. Rocuronium was used for neuromuscular blockade.

The device insertion and intubation times, number of intubation attempts, mucosal damage, need for optimization maneuvers, effects on hemodynamic parameters and postoperative minor complications were recorded.
