摘      要：Airway management of morbidly obese patients is challenging due to inherent anatomical and physiological variations.[1]The frequent association of compromised hemodynamics,hypoxemia,or acidosis in an emergency department(ED)setting adds to the difficulty of the *** airway management position(RAMP),awake fiber-optic guided intubation,use of intubating laryngeal mask airway(ILMA),and video-laryngoscope are a few techniques that have been described to tackle difficult airways in these patients.[2]Studies have shown that the availability of fi ber-optic scopes(3%–60%),videolaryngoscopes(39%–88%),and laryngeal mask airways(LMA)(65%–83%)varies in different ED settings.[3,4]Furthermore,a lack of adequate training and the need for time-bound resuscitation make implementation of the above techniques challenging.
