Novel SaCoVLM™ Video Laryngeal Mask Airway as an Intubation Conduit in Morbidly Obese Bariatric Surgery

概要

Background: The SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask is a novel video-assisted device that integrates the functions of both a dual-channel laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and an intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA). At present, there are relatively few studies on awake airway management for obese patients who undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask airway as an intubation conduit in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Patients and methods: This single-arm prospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask airway in 57 morbidly obese patients (BMI ≥35 kg/m²) undergoing LSG.
