Obesity is a global public health issue; significant numbers of the
world's population are overweight, growing numbers are obese, and
many are morbidly obese. As obesity is associated with a range of
co-morbidities (namely cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer,
depression, and sleep apnoea), it presents a daunting
peri-operative challenge to the anaesthetist. The increasing size
and weight of patients presenting for surgery involves multiple
issues from starting intravenous lines through to intubation and
ventilation challenges. The Oxford Textbook of Anaesthesia for the
Obese Patient is a highly authoritative, evidence-based account of
the principles and clinical practice within the field. Across 36
chapters, this resource provides comprehensive coverage of all
aspects of the subject including physiological and pharmacological
modifications in the obese patient, bariatric and non-bariatric
surgery, specific clinical issues such as fluid management and
tissue oxygenation, as well as challenges arising from obesity in
the setting of paediatrics, obstetrics, intensive care and trauma.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this resource is the
definitive guide to clinical management of the obese patient,
exploring various international approaches to practice, with
helpful case studies, and practical advice on common
intra-operative challenges, and how to resolve them using evidence
and best practice.
