Summary

This study looked at whether using a face mask to help obese patients breathe during a short pause in anesthesia makes intubation safer. Over 700 patients with a BMI of 35 or higher took part. The goal was to see which method leads to fewer complications like low oxygen levels or low blood pressure.
