Intubation of Obese Patients in the Operating Room With or Without Face Mask Ventilation

Intubation of Obese Patients in the Operating Room With or Without Face Mask Ventilation. A Randomized Multicentre Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The aim of the study is to answer a daily question in the operating room: what is the safest technique for intubation of severe/morbid obese patients (BMI 35 or more). There is a great heterogeneity of practices on the subject, so the principle is to determine a common practice to facilitate the management of these patients.
