Brief summary

The investigators aimed to compare the effects of using enotracheal tube with stylet versus endotracheal tube alone in morbidly obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.

Detailed description

Different intubation techniques have been used in morbidly obese patients undergoing general anesthesia. No study comparing the use of endotracheal tube with or without stylet was found in literature. Thus, the investigators aimed to compare the effects of using enotracheal tube with stylet versus endotracheal tube alone in morbidly obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.

Interventions

PROCEDUREEndotracheal tube with stylet

The obese patients who will be intubated with stylet in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

PROCEDUREEndotracheal tube alone

The obese patients who will be intubated without stylet in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
