COMPARISON OF RAMP POSITION AND SNIFFING POSITION FOR VIDEO LARYNGOSCOPE ASSISTED INTUBATION IN MORBIDLY OBESE PATIENTS:A RANDOMISED STUDY

The study is a comprehensive exploration of airway management strategies tailored to morbidly obese patients undergoing intubation procedures, with a specific focus on comparing the Ramp position with Sniffing position in the context of video laryngoscope-assisted intubation. While existing evidence supports the effectiveness of the Ramp position in comparison to Sniffing position in direct laryngoscopy, uncertainties persist regarding its applicability in video laryngoscopy. The research aims to bridge this gap by providing a nuanced understanding of the optimal positioning for video-assisted intubation in the challenging demographic of morbidly obese patients. The study’s findings are anticipated to offer practical insights and guidance for anesthesiologists grappling with the intricacies in morbidly obese adult patient population, potentially shaping improved clinical practices and enhancing the overall safety and success of intubation procedures in these individuals.
