The investigators aimed to compare the effects of using enotracheal tube with stylet versus endotracheal tube alone in morbidly obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.
Different intubation techniques have been used in morbidly obese patients undergoing general anesthesia. No study comparing the use of endotracheal tube with or without stylet was found in literature. Thus, the investigators aimed to compare the effects of using enotracheal tube with stylet versus endotracheal tube alone in morbidly obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.
