Overview

Feasibility study shows FASTER device improves intubation success in obese adults, indicating potential in challenging scenarios.

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the FASTER device for tracheal intubation in obese adults.
  • Prospective feasibility study involving 20 adults with BMI ≥35 kg·m −2 undergoing elective surgery.
  • Utilization of the FASTER device to assist tracheal intubation through a supraglottic airway.
  • Evaluation of first-attempt intubation success, intubation time, and device-related adverse events.
  • All 20 patients achieved successful intubation on the first attempt using the FASTER device.
  • Mean intubation time was 77.6 seconds (SD 19.8).
  • No device-related adverse events were reported.
