What this Trial Is About
This research investigates the relationship between Body Roundness Index (BRI), Body Mass Index (BMI), and the VIDIAC score in obese patients undergoing videolaryngoscopy. Obesity can change airway anatomy and make intubation harder, but BMI alone may not fully predict airway difficulties. BRI is a new measure that may better reflect body fat distribution and help predict airway management challenges. The study observes patients with obesity (BMI of 30 or higher) who will undergo videolaryngoscopy to evaluate their airway visibility and complexity using the VIDIAC score. Researchers will compare the correlation of the VIDIAC score with both BMI and BRI values to see if BRI offers a stronger prediction of difficult airway management. Participants will receive general anesthesia during the procedure. Key assessments include measuring the VIDIAC score, the number of intubation attempts, and oropharyngeal visibility, all evaluated about three minutes after anesthesia induction. The study aims to better understand airway management in obese patients by analyzing these measurements and their relationship to body fat distribution.
