Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the time to intubation and glottic visualization using three types of laryngoscopes in morbidly obese patients.
  • Forty-five morbidly obese patients were split into three groups, and the time to intubation and difficulty scores were compared among the Macintosh, McCoy, and Glidescope video laryngoscopes.
  • Results showed that the Glidescope took significantly longer to intubate without any benefits in difficulty scores or hemodynamic responses, suggesting that the Macintosh laryngoscope is the preferred option due to its effectiveness and availability.
