T
he incidence of obesity is increasing like epidemic; 65% of adults in USA are obese and approximately 5.2-37% in India.
One out of five children is obese (COED - Organization of economic co-operation and development) and the rate of obese
females is three times that of male. We as clinicians and anaesthesiologists have to deal with this problemmore and more day by
day. Obesity is a major health problem affecting almost all organ systems. Most affected systems are cardiovascular, respiratory,
endocrine, airway, OSA, hepatic, renal, musculoskeletal, etc. Obese patients have higher rate of post-operative complications
like myocardial infarct, neuropathy, infection, DVT, pulmonary embolism, etc. Morbidly obese are with BMI more than 40
Kg/sq.m or super-obese with BMI more than 50 Kg/sq.m are to be preoperatively prepared for better perioperative outcome.
Pre-operative workup aims at controlling systemic diseases, optimizing cardio-respiratory status, stabilizing endocrinal
abnormalities and improving nutrition, effort tolerance and psychological state of mind of the patient. Minimum of 10%weight
reduction preoperatively with improved effort tolerance and cardiorespiratory status decreases perioperative complications
and hospital stay and cost. In super obese patients pre-operative preparation may require 6-8 weeks of controlled diet, exercises
and medical treatment.
