Background: Anaesthetic management of obese patient can be challenging because of altered anatomy and physiology. Safe apnea period is extremely short and videolaryngoscope is believed to reduce the number of failed intubation attempts. Slow emergence with fat-soluble volatile agents may be due to delayed release from adipose stores. Use of opioids in the presence of obesity increases the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea, hypoxia and upper airway obstruction. The aim is to provide safe airway management in obesity by reducing the number of intubation attempts and the time taken for intubation with reduced post-operative respiratory depression.
