Author Description
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. This Textbook Presents An Evidence-based Account Of The Principles And Clinical Practice Within The Field. It 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
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
How can anaesthetists effectively manage the complex physiological and pharmacological challenges presented by obese patients undergoing surgical procedures? Ashish C. Sinha provides an evidence-based framework that addresses the specific peri-operative risks associated with obesity, including co-morbidities like cardiovascular disease and sleep apnoea. The text synthesizes clinical research to guide practitioners through the technical demands of airway management, fluid administration, and tissue oxygenation in this high-risk population.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Physiological and pharmacological modifications required for obese patients
- Clinical strategies for bariatric and non-bariatric surgical procedures
- Management protocols for intravenous access and intubation
- Evidence-based guidelines for peri-operative fluid and oxygenation
Scope Limits
- Does not cover general anaesthesia principles outside the context of obesity
- Does not provide long-term post-operative weight management strategies
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
