چکیده

L’obesità è una condizione che interessa più del 30% della popolazione degli USA contro l’11% di quella italiana. Essa, oltre a comportare un maggior rischio di sviluppo di patologie croniche, determina un aumento della spesa sanitaria: è sempre più frequente, in sala operatoria e in terapia intensiva, la gestione di un paziente con un BMI > 30 Kg/m che richieda una strategia diversa rispetto al paziente normopeso. Rivas et all 2 hanno confrontato parametri indicativi dell’efficienza degli scambi gassosi polmonari in una popolazione di pazienti obesi. Sono state effettuate rilevazioni in ortostatismo e in clinostatismo, prima e dopo la chirurgia bariatrica. Ulteriore distinzione è stata fatta tra pazienti ipossiemici e non ipossiemici. Non sono state riscontrate differenze statisticamente significative nei parametri emogasanalitici prima e dopo chirurgia bariatrica. Dai risultati emerge che le variazioni postura-correlate della PaO2 nei pazienti obesi ipossiemici, dopo chirurgia, assumono un comportamento uguale a quello dei soggetti normossiemici.
