ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with difficult video laryngoscopy in obese patients.Methods:
A total of 579 obese patients undergoing elective laparoscopic weight loss surgery were intubated with a single-lumen endotracheal tube using a video laryngoscopy under general anesthesia, and the patients were divided into two groups based on the Cormack-Lehane classification (difficult video laryngoscopy defined as ≥ 3) the easy video laryngoscopy group and the difficult video laryngoscopy group. Record the general condition of the patient, bedside testing indicators related to the airway, Cormack-Lehane classification during intubation, and intubation failure rate.Results:
The findings of this study show that the incidence of difficult video laryngoscopy in obese patients is 4.8%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that body mass index was significantly associated with difficult video laryngoscopy (OR = 1.082, 95% CI [1.033-1.132], P < 0.001).Conclusion:
For Chinese obese patients without known difficult airways, the incidence of difficult video laryngoscopy is 4.8%. Body mass index is associated factors for the occurrence of difficult video laryngoscopy, with an increased risk observed as body mass index rise.Palabras clave
