A Trial to Modify the El-Ganzouri Risk Index by Incorporating Anthropometric Ratios for Predicting Difficult Intubation in Obese Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia
This observational study aims to compare the predictive performance of the Modified El-Ganzouri Risk Index (MEGRI) incorporating anthropometric ratios with the original El-Ganzouri Risk Index (EGRI) for predicting difficult intubation in obese adult patients undergoing elective general anesthesia.
Inclusion: Patient acceptance; Age: 21-65 years old; ASA: II,III; Obese patients (Body Mass Index (BMI) 30-40 kg/m² ) scheduled for elective surgical procedures under general anesthesia.
Exclusion: Patients undergoing maxillofacial trauma surgery; Upper airway pathology or surgery; Patients with a history of neck surgery or cervical spine instability; Pregnant patients, and those requiring rapid sequence intubation.
