The study had the participation of 221 patients, of whom 121 presented with a STOP-BANG ≥3, with a prevalence of 54.2%. All patients undergoing bariatric surgeries presented STOP-BANG ≥3. No significant statistical relationships were found between predictors of difficult orotracheal intubation and STOP-BANG ≥3. However, significant statistical relationships were found in relation to predictors of difficult ventilation through the facial mask.
