May support point-of-care ultrasonography in bariatric anesthesia; leaves open need for randomized trials before practice change.
Ultrasonography is a valuable point-of-care tool in bariatric anesthesia that enhances procedural safety and efficacy across vascular access, airway management, and regional blocks.
Diab et al. (2022) conducted a review in Morbid obesity requiring bariatric surgery. Ultrasonography vs. Conventional landmark techniques was evaluated. Ultrasonography improves the safety and efficacy of anesthesia in bariatric surgery by facilitating vascular access, airway management, ventilation monitoring, and regional analgesia.
