VIDEOLARYNGOSCOPE: Videolaryngoscopy imaging in participants with a body mass index greater than 30 kg/m².
Study summary
The VIDIAC score is a measurement system that objectively defines glottic visibility and anatomical complexity in videolaryngoscopy. The literature has shown a relationship between parameters such as BMI, NC, and TMD and difficult airway management in obese patients, but there is no study examining the BRI-VIDIAC relationship.
