Study Summary

The investigators hypothesize that the D-MAC (Dblade with C-MAC system) may be a suitable alternative device for difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in morbidly obese patients. The D-MAC will enable superior view of the glottic structures as well as easier endotracheal intubations than the C-MAC blade. This is the first study to investigate the individual and comparative performances of C-MAC and D-MAC in this patient cohort.

Primary Outcome

Time taken for successful placement of endotracheal tube after a successful laryngoscopy. Typically a successful laryngoscopy will range from few seconds to no more than 90 seconds. A successful intubation will not range more than 90 seconds.
