A comparison of face-to-face endotracheal intubation and standard intubation using Airtraq video laryngoscope in morbidly obese patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Face-to-face intubation is shorter than the routine intubation in obese patients. This method may be an alternative to standard intubation in case of airway management in morbidly obese patients in semi-erect position; however, it requires both training and practice.
