The Effect of Head Position on Glottic Visualisation and Intubation Success With Videolaryngoscope in Obese Patients

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of head and neck positions on the visualization of glottis and the success of intubation during videolaryngoscopy in obese patients.

Tree different head and neck positions will compare for glottic visualization and intubation success rates in obese patients (BMI> 30 kg / m2) who required endotracheal intubation for general anesthesia between 18-65 years of age.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Being 18-65 aged
• Being obese
• Undergoing surgery under general anesthesia
