Description
This specialized text examines the complex physiological, pharmacological, and technical considerations required when managing morbidly obese patients in surgical settings. Written by experienced anaesthetists, the book covers airway management, positioning, regional anaesthesia techniques, and drug dosing adjustments specific to this population.
The guide addresses comorbidities common in obesity, including obstructive sleep apnoea, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. It provides evidence-based recommendations for preoperative assessment, intraoperative monitoring, fluid management, and postoperative care. Practical chapters include guidance on equipment selection, risk stratification, and complications management.
Essential for anaesthetists, surgeons, and perioperative nurses involved in bariatric and general surgery, this resource enhances clinical decision-making and patient safety outcomes in this increasingly common patient population.
