Why the study?
Obese patients are at higher risk of perioperative complications, primarily related to respiratory function, making appropriate evaluation and management essential.
Appropriate perioperative management and monitoring are essential to mitigate the higher risk of respiratory and other complications in obese patients undergoing surgery.
Supports heightened perioperative monitoring in obese surgical patients; leaves open optimal strategies for randomized trials.
Obese patients are at higher risk of perioperative complications, mainly associated with those related to the respiratory function. An appropriate preoperative evaluation, intraoperative management, and postoperative support and monitoring is essential to improve outcome and increase the safety of the surgical procedure.
