The main objective of this trial is to assess the clinical usefulness of thyromental height test (TMHT) in prediction of difficult intubation in obese patients scheduled for elective surgical procedures. The secondary aim is to evaluate usefulness of other commonly used predictive tests associated with difficult intubation in obese patients.

Score in Cormack-Lehane scale (CL).
During direct laryngoscopy after the induction of general anesthesia the laryngeal view is graded in Cormack-Lehane Scale by the laryngoscopist. Grade I is assigned when the glottis is fully visible, grade II when the glottis is partially visible, grade III when only the epiglottis is visible and grade IV when neither glottis nor epiglottis is visible.
Intraoperatively (an average of 5 minutes)
Thyromental height (TMH). [mm]
Thyromental height is defined as the height between the anterior border of the thyroid cartilage (on the thyroid notch just between the 2 thyroid laminae) and the anterior border of the mentum (on the mental protuberance of the mandible). It is measured with a depth gauge during routine preoperative anaesthetic visit in supine position and closed mouth.

Group consists of consecutive, adult, obese patients undergoing elective surgical procedures requiring general anaesthesia, direct laryngoscopy and intubation. All patients undergo general anesthesia according to a standardised protocol. They are preoxygenated with 100% oxygen breathed through a face mask for 3-5 minutes. Induction of general anaesthesia is achieved with propofol 1,5-2 mg·kg-1 (of Ideal Body Weight) and 0,1mg fentanyl or sufentanil 10µg. Muscle relaxation is accomplished with rocuronium 0.6 mg ·kg-1 (of Ideal Body Weight). Depth of muscular blockade is monitored using Train of Four (TOF) method. The first laryngoscopy attempt is performed at TOF 0. The patient is placed in an optimal, sniffing or ramped position as appropriate and a #3 or #4 Macintosh blade is used. Successful intubation is confirmed with bilateral auscultation and capnography.
During routine preoperative anaesthetic visit and physical examination the following predictive test measurements are obtained by a research team member not involved in the further assessment of laryngoscopy: score in modified Mallampati test, Thyromental height, Sternomental distance, Thyromental distance, Neck circumference, Mouth opening distance
Studied population will consist of consecutive obese, adult patients (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) qualified for elective surgical procedures, requiring general anaesthesia, direct laryngoscopy and intubation.
