Awake Endotracheal Intubation and Prone Patient Self-Positioning: Anesthetic and Positioning Considerations During Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in Obese Patients
Journal of Endourology, 09/15/09
Wu SD et al. – The technique of awake intubation with prone patient self–positioning can be helpful for positioning morbidly obese patients before PCNL and has been safe and effective in properly selected patients.
