Summary

This study looked at 135 obese adults to see if using a video laryngoscope (Storz C-MAC3 or Scoper MAC-3) or a standard Macintosh laryngoscope makes intubation easier and safer. Researchers measured how well doctors could see the airway and checked for side effects like sore throat or hoarseness. The goal was to find the best tool for managing airways in obese patients.
