Detailed Description
80 lean (BMI<35) and morbidly obese (BMI>35) patients undergoing elective surgery were enrolled in this prospective ransomİzed study were intubated using McGrath MAC X-Blade. The demographic and airway variables of patients were recorded. Airway management variables Cormack-Lehan grades, insertion and intubation times, need for optimization maneuvers ( cricoid pressure, re-inserting, drawback) , hemodynamic changes in heart rate , blood pressure and minor postoperative complications such as sore throat, dysphasia, hoarseness were recorded.
