Why the study?
Morbid obesity is associated with substantially increased mortality primarily from cardiovascular complications, necessitating principles for perioperative management.
The guidelines establish standardized protocols for the perioperative care of patients with morbid obesity to reduce complications such as difficult airway, hypoventilation, and venous thromboembolism.
Elevated young-adult morbid-obesity mortality warrants critical-care attention; leaves open targeted prevention strategies.
According to the latest estimates of the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people in the world are overweight. In economically developed countries, the proportion of the population with overweight reaches almost 50 %, of which 30 % are obese. In Russia, on average, 30 % of people of working age are obese and 25 % are overweight. Despite the significant economic costs for the prevention and treatment of obesity, mortality at the age of 20–35 with morbid obesity exceeds the average statistical 12 times, mainly from cardiovascular complications. The guidelines provides principles of perioperative management of patients with obesity.

Заболотских et al. (2021) conducted a review in Morbid obesity. Perioperative management guidelines was evaluated. The guidelines provide evidence-based principles and recommendations for the perioperative management of patients with obesity.
