Anesthesia for Bariatric Surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
Over 65% of the US adult population is overweight or obese, defined by a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m or ≥30 kg/m, respectively [1, 2]. Bariatric surgery is usually performed in patients with a BMI≥40 kg/m, or a BMI≥30 kg/m with comorbidities that are expected to respond to weight loss (i.e. hypertension, diabetes). Obese patients, undergoing bariatric or other surgical procedures, present an increased anesthetic risk because of physiologic changes, comorbidities and technical challenges [3].
