متن کاملEvaluation of propofol anesthesia in morbidly obese children and adolescents
BACKGROUND Poor characterization of propofol pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the morbidly obese (MO) pediatric population poses dosing challenges. This study was conducted to evaluate propofol total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in this population. METHODS After IRB approval, a prospective study was conducted in 20 MO children and adolescents undergoing laparoscopic surgery under cli...
متن کاملObese patients: respiratory complications in the post-anesthesia care unit.
INTRODUCTION Obesity has been associated with respiratory complications, and the majority of these complications occur in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome and incidence of adverse respiratory events (AREs) in obese patients during their stay in the PACU METHODS: We conducted a prospective control study that included 27 obese patients matche...
