Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Obesity is wide-reaching health problem. It is estimated that 34% of the North American adult population is obese; of which 5% is morbidly obese. As a result many obese patients are scheduled for surgery, including thoracic procedures. An increased BMI is not the only determinant for morbidity and mortality during thoracic surgical procedures. Many patients have several comorbidities associated with their obesity that can complicate their operative course and increase their risks of postoperative complications."--authors' abstract.
Book Synopsis The Globesity Challenge to General Surgery by : Mirto Foletto
Download or read book The Globesity Challenge to General Surgery written by Mirto Foletto and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing prevalence of morbid obesity has led the World Health Organization to coin the descriptive term “globesity” to reflect the worldwide nature of the problem. Providing health care to these patients, especially when surgery is required, can be extremely challenging owing to the specific needs in respect of logistics, facilities, and professional expertise. Appropriate care has to date often been unachievable and unaffordable outside of established bariatric centers, but such centers themselves usually have insufficient capacity and resources to cope with the demand among the general population. This book therefore provides a wealth of guidance and helpful tips and tricks on how to deal with obese patients within a general surgery setting. Importantly, it highlights the need for global rethinking on public health as regards resource allocation and patterns and standards of care, with the ultimate goal of improving outcomes through greater affordability.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anesthetic management of morbidly obese patients constitutes a challenge for the anesthesiologist, as these patients demonstrate significantly high morbidity and mortality rates. We present a case of a morbidly obese patient undergoing bilateral thoracotomy under combined general and epidural anesthesia.A 44 year old male with u0392u039cu0399=49kg/m2 and a medical history of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and nephrectomy due to kidney cancer, underwent a bilateral thoracic surgery. Preoperative spirometry revealed: FEV1= 3,9lt (96%) and FVC= 4,32lt (88%) while arterial blood gases (ABGu201ds) in room air revealed: pH= 7,35, pCO2= 36,7mmHg, pO2= 72,5mmHg. Echocardiography revealed a suboartic stenosis and EF=60%. We administrated general anesthesia with a double lumen endotracheal tube 39Fr, along with thoracic epidural analgesia (levobupivacaine 2% and fentanyl 2u03bcg/ml with a rate of 5ml/h and a patient- controlled bolus lockout of 5ml every 15 min at T5-6 interspace. Basic monitoring, invasive arterial pressure measurement, Bispectral Index and Cerebral Oximetry monitoring (INVOS) were used. The patient was hemodynamically stable perioperatively, while no difficulty was observed during one- lung ventilation, for both lungs. Cerebral oximetry and BIS remained within normal limits (INVOS variation10%, BIS= 40-55). Postoperative ABGu201ds indicated (FiO2= 35%), pH=7,4 ,pO2=125mmHg, pCO2=38,2mmHg and VAS scores

Download or read book Surgery for Morbid Obesity written by J.H. Linner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surgical treatment of morbid obesity has undergone astonishing growth since its inception thirty years ago. The medical profession has long been aware of the discouraging intractability of morbid obesity to all forms of conservative management, and it is only recently that physicians have come to realize that surgery can provide very real palliation for the morbidly obese patient. Surgery does not attack the underlying etiology of morbid obesity, whatever it may be, but exerts its effect indirectly either by effecting a calorie loss through intestinal shunting, or by calorie deprivation through a radical reduction of gastric capacity. Acceptance of bariatric surgery as a legitimate therapeutic modality has met with considerable resistance by many physicians for two principal reasons. The first relates to the rather prevalent but unjustifiable attitude both within and without the medical profession that morbid obesity is an expression of slovenliness, the result of a character defect, or a defect of the will, and of an "easy way that those so atHicted should not be extended the benefit out," but should "shape up" by rigorous diet and exercise. The second more serious concern that has blunted enthusiasm for bariatric surgery has been the large number of late complications following jejunoileal bypass, and the high incidence of perioperative complications and revisional operations in some quarters following gastric reduction procedures. It is to these concerns that this book is addressed.
Book Synopsis Mechanical Ventilation in the Critically Ill Obese Patient by : Antonio M. Esquinas
Download or read book Mechanical Ventilation in the Critically Ill Obese Patient written by Antonio M. Esquinas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to describe a practical evidence-based approach to the management of critically ill obese patients with various medical or postoperative respiratory problems in the intensive care unit. In brief, the book aims to identify the best strategy and present clinical recommendations for different circumstances, to establish indications for and contraindications to noninvasive and invasive mechanical ventilation, and to offer clear guidance on weaning from mechanical ventilation and on respiratory care. Causes of acute respiratory failure in the obese patient are discussed, and advice is offered on the prevention and management of complications during mechanical ventilation and on moving and feeding critically ill obese patients. Long-term outcomes, ethical issues, and health care costs are also addressed. The multidisciplinary approach, with contributions from international experts in different specialties, ensures that the book will be of interest to a range of health professionals involved in critical care, including intensivists, anesthesiologists, and pulmonologists.

Book Synopsis Controversies in the Anesthetic Management of the Obese Surgical Patient by : Yigal Leykin
Download or read book Controversies in the Anesthetic Management of the Obese Surgical Patient written by Yigal Leykin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-04 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of obesity, an important risk factor for various diseases, has increased markedly worldwide in recent years. The results of long-term dietary behavioural therapy, however, remain sadly inadequate, with a relapse rate of about 90%. Surgery is still the only effective treatment for these patients. The annual number of weight loss operations performed in the United States in the early 1990s totaled only about 16,000, but by 2005 the figure exceeded 200,000. The anesthetic care of severely obese patients entails particular issues, and difficulties are believed to escalate in the presence of co-morbidities. Despite this, outcome data in respect of anesthetic care and pain management are still scarce. Anesthetic Management of the Obese Patient considers a wide range of important practical issues and controversies. Key questions in preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management are carefully addressed, and different approaches are evaluated, casting light on their effectiveness and limitations. Written by world leaders in the field, this book will be an invaluable aid for anesthesiologists.
