Abstract

Obesity is considered a major comorbidity, and it is imperative for an anesthesiologist to put increased emphasis on preoperative evaluation and perioperative management. A multidisciplinary team approach is the key for a successful outcome. This article encompasses basic tenets like pathophysiology and pharmacology pertaining to obesity. The authors also talk about important aspects of anesthesia care starting from preoperative assessment and optimization, intraoperative challenges and care, to recovery and discharge of these patients.
