3. OBESITY
OBESITY A
metabolic disorder
that is primarily
induced and
sustained by an
over consumption or
under utilization of
caloric substrate.
ī Obesity is a
complex
multifactorial
(genetic,enviorment
al,psychological)dise
ase
ī
4. âAcross the globe Obesity
become the most common
Nutritional disorder and it is
second only to smoking as a
preventable cause of death.
In anesthetic practice it
present special challenges
for both regional and
general anaesthesiaâ.
5. INCIDENCE
INCIDENCE Worldwide adult
population 7%
ī In Affluent cultures, the poor have
the highest prevalence (27% US and
17% UK population)
ī In Developing world, affluent are at
the highest risk.
ī Obese school children 60-85%

8. Lean Body Mass Formula
Lean Body Mass = Body Weight â
(Body Weight x Body Fat %) :
ī Lean body mass is comprised of
everything in your body besides body
fat.
ī Your lean body mass includes:
ī
âĻ
âĻ
âĻ
âĻ
âĻ
organs
blood
bones
muscle
skin
10. The Broca`s Index
ī
Ideal body weight(IBW) (kg)
âĻ For Female = Height (cm) â 105
âĻ For Male = Height (cm) â 100
11. BMI=Body Weight (kg)/
Height2 (meters)
BMI is defined as the patient's
weight, measured in kilograms, divided
by the square of the patient's height,
measured in meters, which yields a
measurement bearing the unit kg/m2.
ī Overweight is defined as a BMI of >25
kg/m2
ī Obesity as a BMI >30
ī Extreme obesity (old term "morbid
obesity") as a BMI of >40.
ī
14. Cardiovascular
Changes
ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
Increased blood volume and cardiac output
leading to cardiomegaly, left ventricular
hypertrophy and a potential for left
ventricular failure.
Hypertension and ischaemic heart disease
Venous access can sometimes be difficult.
Thromboembolism risk is increased.
The risk of pulmonary embolus and DVT is
doubled
Venous return is reduced.
16. Respiratory Changes
ī
ī
ī
ī
Reduced compliance (both chest wall and lung),
in the airway resistance and reduced FRC will
pre-dispose to atelectasis, increased shunt and
hypoxia.
70% in work of breathing and a four fold in
the Oxygen cost of breathing occur in case of
morbid obese.
Pulmonary vasoconstriction, pulmonary
hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy.
These patients must be pre-oxygenated as they
desaturate much quicker than non-obese (3â5
times).decrease in FRC impairs the ability of
obese pts to tolerate periods of apnea ,such as
during direct laryngoscopy for tracheal
intubation.
17. Pulmonary mechanics:
ī
ī
Inspiratory reserve volume(IRV),
expiratory reserve volume(ERV),
functional residual capacity(FRC),
vital capacity(VC),
total lung capacity(TLC) and
minute ventilation(MV)( )
but
tidal volume(TV) and residual volume(RV) (â).
FRC may be below the closing capacity resulting
in the small airway closureâ V/P mismatchâ
right to left shunting and hypoxemia
18. ī
General anesthesia will accentuate these changes such that a
50% decrease in FRC occurs in obese anaesthetised pts
compared with a 20% decrease in non obese individuals..

Airway management: Awake fibreoptic intubation
Positioning, Monitoring
Choice of anesthetic technique and anesthetic
agents
Pain control
Fluid management
Consider asking for Assistance.
A typical operating table will support 150 kg, but the
tilting/tipping may not function.
The sphygmomanometer cuff width should be 20%
greater than the diameter of the arm
Invasive blood pressure monitoring may be required
46. Dvt
Heparin, 5000 IU subcutaneously,
administered before surgery and
repeated every 12 h until the
patient will be fully mobile, or low
molecular weight heparins (LMWH)
injected subcutaneously 40 mg
every 12 h resulted in a decreased
incidence of postoperative DVT

intravenous access inserted.
ī An experienced Assistant
ī The full complement of alternate
airway, noninvasive and invasive (e.g.
cricothyriodotomy set and surgical
tracheotomy set) airway devices
should be available.
ī
48. Monitors
ī
ECG
ī
NIBP
âĻ Cuffs with bladders that encircle ideally of 75% or
minimum of 50% of the upper arm circumference should
be used
ī
Invasive BP
ī
Pulse oxymetry
ī
EtCO2
ī
Temperature
ī
Neuromuscular monitoring
ī
Central Venous pressure monitoring
ī
Hourly urine output is evaluated to assess fluid
balance
50. Preoperative medications
ī
Avoid CNS and respiratory depressants.(sedatives or
narcotics).
ī
Antibiotic prophylaxis; increased risk of postoperative
wound infection
ī
Anticholinergics(Glyco) if awake intubation is planned.
ī
Aspiration
prophylaxis(H2-receptor
antagonists
and
proton pump inhibitors).
ī
Continue antihypertensive medications.
ī
If required O2 supplementation and monitoring.
ī
Premedication should not be given IM as it may be
inadvertently administered into adipose tissue leading
to unpredictable absorption.
51. Positioning
ī
Strapping to the operating table in combination with a
malleable bean bag
ī
Padding of pressure areas
ī
Special tables for extra load (two tables)
ī
The head up reverse trendelenburg position provides
the longest safe apnea period during induction
ī
Lateral tilt to avoid compression of vena cava
52. ī
âStackingâ using towels or folded blankets under
the shoulders and the head to compensate for the
exaggerated flexed position of posterior cervical
fat .
ī
The object is to position the patient so that the tip
of the chin is at the higher level than the chest to
facilitate laryngoscopy and intubation.
56. Intubation technique
ī
Anticipate for difficult airway and prepare in
same line
ī
Awake intubation in morbid obese patient
LA ī DL ī Glottis visualized ī GA ī intubate
Not visualized ī Awake intubation
or
Awake fiberoptic
We should be ready for emergency tracheostomy
57. Drug handling in obesity
Unpredictable Volumes of
distribution
ī Binding
ī Elimination of drugs
ī Reduction in total body water
ī Higher fat mass
ī Higher lean mass
ī Higher GFR
ī Increased renal clearance
ī
58. PHARMACOKINETICS OF DRUGS
ī
Drugs are dosed in the morbidly obese on the basis of
their lipophilicity.
ī
Highly
Lipophilic
drugs
have
increased
volume
of
distribution so drug doses are calculated on the basis of
the patients Total Body Weight (TBW). Examples are:
ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
Thiopentone
Propofol
Benzodiazepines
Fentanyl
Sufentanyl
Succinylcholine
Atracurium
Cisatracurium
59. ī
Weakly lipophilic or lipophobic drugs have unchanged volume of
distribution so drug doses are calculated on the basis of the
patients lean body weight (LBW). Examples are:
ī Alfentanil
ī Ketamine
ī Vecuronium
ī Rocuronium
ī Morphine sulphate
ī
Certain Lipophilic drugs are adminstered according to LBW are
Digoxin,Procainamide,Remifentanyl((Vd) remain same).
ī
Calculating initial doses based on LBW with subsequent doses
determined by pharmacologic response to the initial dose is a
reasonable approach.
60. Anaesthetic drugs
ī
ī
ī
Insoluble anesthetic gases resistant to
metabolic degradation and without lipid
depot compartmentalization, combined
with rapid return of reflexes are
preferred.
For intubation muscle relaxants with
rapid sequence induction should be
used. Succinylcholine and Rocuronium
are the available choices.
For maintenance of anesthesiaDesflurane/sevoflurane+ Cisatracurium
+intravenous infusion of Remifentanyl is
prefered.N2O should be avoided
particularly in Pt with Pulm HTN.
62. Extubation Criteria
ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
Intact neurologic status, fully awake and
alert, with head lift greater than 5
seconds
Hemodynamic stability
Normothermia. The core temperature
>36°C.
Train-of-four (TOF) reversal documented
by peripheral nerve stimulator (T4/T1
>0.9).
Full reversal of neuromuscular blocking
agents.
Respiratory rate (>10 and < 30
breaths/minute)
63. ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
ī
Baseline Peripheral Oxygenation, as judged by pulse
Oximeter (SPO2 >95% on FIO2 of 0.4).
If an arterial line is present, an arterial blood gas
may be checked.
Acceptable blood-gas results (FIO2 of 0.4: pH, 7.35
to 7.45; PaO2, >80 mm Hg; PaCO2, < 50 mm Hg).
Acceptable Respiratory Mechanics: negative
inspiratory force (NIF) (>25 to 30 cm H2O; vital
capacity (VC) >10 mL/kg IBW; tidal volume (VT) >5
mL/kg ideal body weight [IBW]).
Acceptable Pain Control
No demonstrated or suspected Laboratory
abnormalities
64. Post-operative Considerations
Extubate awake, sitting up.
ī ICU care, may need CPAP.
ī Oxygen and oximetry.
ī Obstructive sleep apnoea is most
common some days after surgery.
ī Adequate analgesia to allow deep
breathing/coughing.
ī Physiotherapy
ī DVT prophylaxis
ī
65. Postoperative analgesia
ī
There is no clear data proving the superiorty of
one technique over other for post op
analgesia.It depends on type ,site , duration,
severity of surgery.
Multi Modal Perioperative Analgesia(MMPA) I,e
preemptive infiltration local anesthetic at the
incision site +NSAIDS+ PCEA(patient controlled
epidural analgesia)/PCIA(patient controlled
intrathecal analgesia) is a new and advanced
method to deal with post op pain.
ī In certain situation where sedation is to be
avoided
Dexmedetomidine,Ketorolac,Clonidine,Magnesiu
m sulphate are better alternative of Opoids.
ī
66. Postoperative complications
Postanesthetic hypoxemia
Respiratory depression
Early ventilatory failure with need for
reintubation
ī Positional ventilatory collapse
ī Hemodynamic instability
ī Postoperative nausea and vomiting
(PONV)
ī Venous thromboembolism
ī Anastomotic leak
ī Wound infection.
ī
ī
ī
67. Regional anesthesia
ī
May be impossible
with standard
equipment and
techniques due to;
âĻ Obscured landmarks
âĻ Difficult positioning
âĻ Extensive layers of
adipose tissue
âĻ
68. Regional Anaesthesia
Engorged extradural
veins and extra fat
constricting the
potential space, less
local anaesthetic 7580% of the normal
dose is needed for
epidurals
ī Leave extra catheter
in the space as it may
be subject to drag as
the flexed patient
relaxes.
