Conditions
Brief summary
Tracheal intubation in obese patients will may be difficult. We have many devices to facilitate, and we should to put the patient at the sniffing position (pillows under back, neck and head). Our objective in this study is to identify if have differences between the new device Airtraq(trademark), and tradicional macintosh laryngoscope in obese patients intubation on sniffing position.
Interventions
Observe: Time to intubation, visual conditions, and oxygen levels, during the use of the Airtraq(trademark), laryngoscope, in obese patients at sniffing position. The time to intubation with the airtraq usually is made in 120 seconds. We will observe teh use of this device when the patient is at the called "sniffing position". This position is obteined with put pillows and blankets under back, neck and head.
