ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different one-hand techniques for mask ventilation work in obese patients. Specifically, researchers want to find out if the "hook technique" is more effective than traditional methods for helping patients breathe during medical procedures. They will measure success by looking at signs like how well the chest rises and falls, the oxygen levels in the blood, and the amount of air delivered to the lungs. The goal is to determine which technique helps achieve effective ventilation the fastest and with the least number of attempts.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be obese with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 but less than 40. If eligible, participants can expect to have their ventilation responses closely monitored, including how quickly they can achieve proper breathing and if there are any complications. It's important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to improve care for obese patients needing assistance with breathing.
