Abstract

The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity in the adult population has made it essential for anesthesiologists to be familiar with the specific challenges these patients present, particularly in airway management. It is crucial for anesthesiologists to have knowledge of the most appropriate intubation tools and methods, supported by the literature, to address the unique needs of this patient group effectively.

El aumento en la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en la población adulta ha generado la necesidad de que los anestesiólogos se familiaricen con los desafíos específicos que presentan estos pacientes, especialmente en el manejo de la vía aérea. Es fundamental que el anestesiólogo conozca los instrumentos y métodos de intubación más adecuados, respaldados por la literatura, para abordar de manera efectiva las particularidades de este grupo de pacientes.
