- Brief Summary
This study is a longitudinal , comparing easiness in video laryngoscopic tracheal intubation between sniffing and ramping position in obese patients in 80 patients that will be conducted in Amala institute of medical sciences, thrissur. The primary outcome is to compare the intubation time and laryngoscopic view in both positions. The second outcome is to find factors assosciated with intubation failure.
