ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how well a special device called the Airtraq works for intubating men who are either obese or not obese. Intubation is a procedure where a tube is placed in the airway to help a patient breathe during surgery. The researchers want to see if the Airtraq can make this process easier and faster, especially for men who are classified as morbidly obese, as they often face more challenges during intubation compared to men of normal weight.
To participate in this study, men aged 18 and older who need to have elective surgery requiring intubation may be eligible. The study will compare two groups: one group of non-obese men and another group of men with obesity. Participants can expect to have their intubation time measured, along with monitoring their vital signs and any complications after the procedure. It's important to note that women and men needing emergency surgery are not eligible for this trial.
