Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate in obese subjects the quality of intubation with two dosages, after induction without curare (propofol and remifentanil) in order to have a reliable estimate of the percentage of patients with excellent intubation conditions;Secondary Objective: To evaluate in both groups the difficulty of intubation, the respiratory impact of induction, the hemodynamic impact, and the occurrence of traumatic complications related to intubation.;Primary end point(s): percentage of patients with excellent orotracheal intubation conditions;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 0 Hour 0

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Difficulty of orotracheal intubation o Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS) score (Appendix 2) for complexity of endotracheal intubation28 o Percentage of patients who required re-ventilation after a failed first attempt at intubation o Percentage of patients who received an additional dose of propofol at induction o Percentage using the emergency protocol established by the study. - Respiratory impact of induction o Percentage of patients with desaturation, defined as pulse oxygen saturation below 90%. o Percentage of patients with suspected inhalation, defined as visualization of gastric fluid in the oropharynx on intubation or inhalation pneumonitis diagnosed within 48 hours of surgery. - Hemodynamic impact of induction o Percentage of patients with a drop of more than 20% in mean arterial pressure (MAP) within 40 minutes of induction. o Percentage of patients with a decrease of more than 20% in Heart Rate (HR) within 40 minutes of induction. o Number of uses of vasopressor drugs, with details of the drug administered (ephedrine, phenylephrine, norepinephrine, adrenaline, atropine). - Traumatic complications related to intubation o Percentage of patients with traumatic complications associated with intubation: dental breaks, lip and/or mouth sores, oropharyngeal bleeding, vocal cord trauma o Percentage of patients with laryngeal pain, aphonia, dysphonia postoperatively.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Hour H2 and Hour H48 post anesthesic induction without curare (propofol and remifentanil)
