Study Summary
Upper airway obstruction (UAO) during induction of general anesthesia is a frequently occurring complication. The mechanism of UAO during anesthesia shares many similarities with the upper airway obstruction observed during obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Obesity is major risk factors for OSA and obese patients have a higher prevalence of UAO during anesthesia. The change of body position improved upper airway stability during sleep in patients with OSA.We hypothesis that the 30˚ reverse trendelenburg body position maintain airway patency in obese patients during general anesthesia.
Primary Outcome
The ventilation will continue for 1 min in flat position and then, operating table will be changed to 30˚ reverse trendelenburg position and the ventilation will continue for 1 min. Then, operating table will leveled and the ventilation will continue for 1 min.
