About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
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.
The group in the trial
- Obese Adult Patients
Adult obese patients undergoing elective general anesthesia who will be assessed preoperatively using both the original El-Ganzouri Risk Index and the Modified El-Ganzouri Risk Index, followed by assessment of laryngoscopy and intubation outcomes.
Questions to ask the study team
- How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
- Are travel costs paid?
- Can I keep my own doctor?
- What happens if I want to stop?
