Key result
Bariatric perioperative management requires careful assessment, individualized intraoperative strategies, and vigilant postoperative care.
Why the study?
Obesity remains a global problem leading to an increase in bariatric surgery patients who present perioperative management challenges due to multisystem effects and comorbidities.
This review highlights the importance of tailored perioperative anesthesia management for obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery to reduce morbidity and mortality.
Emphasizes tailored perioperative strategies to minimize risks in bariatric surgery; leaves open the need for randomized trials to define best practices.
Despite healthy lifestyle campaigns and diet programs Obesity is still a global problem.Considering this fact, the increase in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery is inevitable.Since obesity is affecting many organ systems, the perioperative management of the bariatric surgical patient provides a number of challenges.Preoperative assessment and preparation considering the specific pathophysiology of this patients are important to reduce mortality and morbidity.Anesthesia management and postoperative care should also be performed with consideration of the risks and comorbidities of these patients.This review will focus on the preoperative, peroperative and postoperative anesthesia management of bariatric surgical patients.
