Modified-ramped position: a New Position for Intubation of Obese Females. A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study

Abstract: Background : Endotracheal intubation requires optimum position of the head and neck. In obese females, the usual ramped position might not provide adequate intubating conditions. We hypothesized that a new position, termed modified-ramped position, during induction of anesthesia would facilitate endotracheal intubation through bringing the breasts away from the laryngoscope and would also improve the laryngeal visualizationMethods: Sixty obese female patients scheduled for general anesthesia were randomly assi… Show more

“…This led to the conclusion that although many of these items were capable of flexing the neck sufficiently, only the pressure bag and saline bags were able to balance this with sufficient extension of the head to align the laryngeal, pharyngeal and mouth axis. 8 , 9 In addition, of all of the supports reviewed, the pressure bag was noted by the authors to be the most versatile as it could be easily positioned behind an unresponsive individual’s neck whilst deflated, with inflation subsequently leading to a highly adaptable variation in position.…”
