In the current study, the shortest and longest intubation time in patients with obesity was observed in the GlideScope and the McCoy laryngoscope groups, respectively. Moreover, the direct relationships of BMI and neck circumference with laryngoscopy time were observed in all 3 groups. These results suggested using GlideScope in patients with high BMI to reduce laryngoscopy time.
