Report Date:
2021-11-01
Abstract:
Obesity is a systemic disease with many implications to perioperative care. US obesity prevalence has increased from 30.5% (1999-2000) to 42.4%(2017-2018) with prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2% in the same time period. This rapid increase highlights the need for a thorough understanding of the obese patient. perioperative management of obese patients requires an understanding of anatomic and physiologic changes as well as common associated comorbidities in order to improve patient outcomes.
