DOI: 10.1097/jcma.0000000000000721
Abstract: Background: Obese people have a higher risk of difficult laryngoscopy due to their thick neck, large tongue, and redundant pharyngeal soft tissue. However, there is still no established predictive factor for difficult laryngoscopy in obese… read more here.
