Morbidly Obese Clinical Trial
Official title:
Intubation of Morbidly Obese Patients. A Randomized Clinical Trial, Comparing GlideScope ® With Fastrach TM.
The purpose of this study is to compare the GlideScope ® and the Fastrach TM for intubation
of morbidly obese. Mainly we will try to clarify which of the instruments that produce the
shortest intubationtime and lowest number of intubationattempts.
The hypothesis is that intubation would be 1) quicker and 2) with the lowest number of
attempts, using the GlideScope®.
The number of obese people rises. Thus 25.2% of Danish 9th graders are obese. As a result,
surgery and anesthesia in obese patients becomes more frequent. Several potential problems
related to anesthesia in this patient group exists, including airway management and
sufficient oxygenation.
Anaesthesia of obese patients are more likely to require intubation. In light of the
foregoing, it is therefore important to find the methods that provide the fewest
complications related to intubation. Therefore this study compare two instruments (Fastrach
TM and GlideScope ®) to find out which of the methods that provides the best airway
management, measured primarily in time and numbers of intubation attempts.
