Objective To evaluate the superiority of nasopharyngeal airway on obesity patients during general anesthesia induction period. Method Forty-two trachea cannula and general anesthesia obesity patients treated from June to November in 2013 were chosen and divided equally into two groups:nasopharyngeal airway group (group A) and control group (group B). Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), arterial blood partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) were recorded when the patients entered the operation room, three minutes after man-made positive pressure ventilating and five minutes after intubation. Peak voltage (Ppeak) of man-made positive pressure ventilation for three minutes was also observed, and intubation frequency and time, mouth mucosa bleeding, and sore throat examples were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with group B, MAP, HR, PaCO2 and Ppeak three minutes after man-made positive pressure ventilating were lower (P<0.05), but SpO2 was higher in group A (P<0.05). Intubation frequency and time, mouth mucosa bleeding, and sore throat examples of group A were less than those in group B (P<0.05). Conclusions Nasopharyngeal airway is better for obesity patients during general anesthesia induction period, which also improves anesthesia safety level.
