Summary

This study tests whether using real-time ultrasound to guide breathing pressure during facemask ventilation can reduce the risk of air entering the stomach in severely obese patients (BMI 40+). About 144 adults having elective surgery will take part. The goal is to find the safest pressure that keeps lungs working well without causing stomach inflation.
