Summary

Tracheal intubation, particularly before surgery, is traditionally done in supine position. It was shown in the general population and in obese patients in particular, that the pre-oxygenation in a 25° head-up position provided a better efficiency of the pre-oxygenation and an apnea time longer. This position would also allow for better intubation conditions in direct laryngoscopy. The investigators intend to assess two different patient's intubation position : supine position and 25° head-up position

Detailed description

Randomization assigned in random block, stratification by operator (20 patients per operator, 10 in each group). Interim analysis every 100 patients.
