Patients undergoing bariatric surgery are special subjects, as they
present different conditions that make it more difficult to
facilitate correct postoperative management. A medical staff is
often not used to managing these patients and they do not consider
that different measures or doses of drugs should be employed.
Moreover, several approaches performed in the general population
cannot be offered to morbidly obese subjects because of their
particular anatomical conditions.The correct management of
postoperative pain is essential for the adequate evolution in a
postoperative course, as a patient experiencing pain will not be
able to mobilize. Moreover, analgesic resources are usually morphic
drugs, which might cause nausea and vomiting, impeding correct oral
intake.Multimodal analgesia is actually considered the gold
standard for postoperative pain control after bariatric surgery,
implying the administration of drugs or performance of different
analgesic or anesthetic techniques in order to reduce the need for
postoperative morphine.For the correct application of postoperative
analgesia, it is essential to know the physiopathology of
postoperative pain and the mechanism of action for each analgesic
technique.The aim of this book is to revise the actual evidence
about the management of postoperative pain in morbidly obese
patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
