Obesity: pathophysiology
• Fat distribution: Peripheral deposited fat vs central/visceral/intra-
• Respiratory system: - Decrease FRC
- Easier airway closure  wheezing
- obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS)
-opioids induce respiratory depression( increase sensitivity)
• Cardiovascular system: - hypertension - ischemic heart disease
- ↑ cardiac output - heart failure /hypertrophy
- arrhythmias (fat deposition)
• Thrombosis: obesity is a prothrombotic state
• Metabolic syndrome: central obesity is associated with increased insulin
resistance
•

 NECK CIRCUMFERENCE difficult intubation
 40 cm  5% risk (16 inches)
 60 cm  35% risk ( 24 inches)
 BMI per se is not a predictor of a difficult airway

Peri-operative management
Pre-operative
Respiratory assessment:
Assessment as per standard guidelines
Spirometry
Indicating resp disease: consider pre-operative arterial blood gas analysis
- arterial saturation < 95% on air
- forced vital capacity < 3 L or forced expiratory volume in 1 s < 1.5 L
- respiratory wheeze at rest
- serum HCO3
- > 27 mmol.L-1

Pre-operative
Cardiovascular assessment:
Routine assessment with METs if required can go for
CPET /ECHO/ recumbent bikes
Nutrional support:
Liver shrinking diet
Pre operative intensive dieting for 2 to 6 weeks

Peri-operative management
Intra-operative
1) Preparation of patient
Communication with staff
positioning
equipment
2) Regional anesthesia: preferred to general anesthesia
- sedation: kept to minimum
- equipment: extra long spinal/epidural needles
- neuraxial anesthesia: standard dose of local anesthetic is sufficient for
central neuraxial blockade

Peri-operative management
Intra-operative
3) General anesthesia:
- preferable airway technique: tracheal intubation with controlled ventilation
- positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)
- care with neuromuscular blocking drugs: risk of apnoea
4) Maintenance of anesthesia: needs to be commenced promptly after induction of
anesthesia
Fat soluble agents are preferable
- Propofol or volatile agents (Desflurane, Sevoflurane)

Peri-operative management
Fourth National Audit Project (NAP4)
Airway complications that are pertinent to the airway management of the obese
patient
• There was often a lack of recognition and planning for potential airway problems
• As a result of the reduced safe apnoea time, when airway complications occurred, ..
they did so rapidly and potentially catastrophically
• There was evidence that rescue techniques such as supraglottic airway devices and
emergency cricothyroidotomy had an increased failure rate
• Adverse events occurred more frequently in obese patients when anaesthetised by
inexperienced staff
Introduction Obesity Bariatric surgery Peri-operative management Take home message
Peri-operative management
Intra-operative
5) Emergence of anesthesia
- reversal of neuromuscular blockade, guided by a nerve stimulator
- airway reflexed should be restored and patients should be breathing with
good tidal volumes
 extubation in sitting position
- in case of OSAS: insertion of nasopharyngeal airway
- until patients wakes up
Introduction Obesity Bariatric surgery Peri-operative management Take home message
Peri-operative management
Post-operative
1) Immediate post-anesthesia care: monitoring (respiration rate, apnoea)
- oxygen therapy, CPAP
 prevent apnoea/hypnoea with oxygen desaturation
2) Analgesia
- intramuscular route: not preferable
- patient-controlled analgesia: not preferable (risk: respiratory depression)
- epidural analgesia: not preferable (↓ post-operative mobility)
- subarachnoid block with opioid adjunct: preferable
Introduction Obesity Bariatric surgery Peri-operative management Take home message
Peri-operative management
Post-operative
3) Thrombo-prophylaxis
- stimulate mobilization
- anti-coagulants (Enoxaparin, Dalteparin, Tinzaparin)
4) Rhabdomyolysis: ‘post-operative’ deep tissue pain (mainly in the buttocks)
- serum: ↑ creatinine kinase ( urinary alkalinization may be required to avoid
acute renal failure)`
Introduction Obesity Bariatric surgery Peri-operative management Take home message
Take home message
• Obesity: central obesity associated with a greater peri-operative risk
 lean/adjusted body weight to measure drug dosing
• Bariatric surgery: leads to weight loss due to malabsorption and/or gastric
restriction
• Peri-operative management:
– pre-operative: screening (co-morbidities), Obesity Surgery Mortality Risk Stratification
– intra-operative: - airway: tracheal intubation with controlled ventilation
- regional anesthesia preferred over general anesthesia
- care with neuromuscular agents
– post-operative: analgesia, thrombo-prophylaxis

Editor's Notes

  1. According
  2. According
  3. Patients with centrally distributed or ‘visceral’ fat are at greater peri-operative risk than those with peripherally distributed fat, and are far more likely to exhibit the metabolic syndrome, which consists of central obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance and hypercholesterolemia. OSA is associated with a greater than doubling of the incidence of postoperative desaturation, respiratory failure, postoperative cardiac events and ICU admission. Obesity is strongly associated with increased insulin resistance [31]. Poor glycaemic control in the perioperative period is associated with increased morbidity, and good glycaemic control is recommended [32]. Gastric bypass surgery causes a unique neurohumeral response, resulting in a rapid, dramatic reduction in insulin requirement, starting immediately after surgery. In this cohort of patients, cautious postoperative reintroduction of diabetic medication and frequent blood sugar monitoring are essential.

Patients with centrally distributed or ‘visceral’ fat are at greater peri-operative risk than those with peripherally distributed fat, and are far more likely to exhibit the metabolic syndrome, which consists of central obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance and hypercholesterolemia. Exact lean body weight formula is quite complex but easy to remember ; 80% of total body weight of male 75% for female is LBW

  7. Obesity is associated with a 30% greater chance of difficult/failed intubation, although predictors for difficult laryngoscopy are the same as for the non-obese [50]. A large neck circumference is a useful additional indicator and when greater than 60 cm, is associated with a 35% probability of difficult laryngoscopy [51].
