  • Jan 2022
Background Obesity is a risk factor for airway-related incidents during anaesthesia. High-flow nasal oxygen has been advocated to improve safety in high-risk groups, but its effectiveness in the obese population is uncertain. This study compared the effect of high-flow nasal oxygen and low-flow facemask oxygen delivery on duration of apnoea in morb...

Anaesthetic Preparation of Obese Patients: Current Status on Optimal Work-up
Article

  • Sep 2017
Purpose of review: With the prevalence of obesity rapidly growing, bariatric anaesthesia becomes everyday anaesthesia rather than a subspecialty. In this review, we are aiming to draw attention to this complex group of patients and their comorbidities, relevant to everyday practice for contemporary anaesthetists. Recent findings: We wanted to fo...

... Thus, THRIVE has been widely used in rapid sequential induction, 19,20 laryngeal surgeries, 13,21,22 thyroplasty, 23 and other general anesthesia scenarios. [24][25][26][27][28] Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange has also been effectively utilized in patients receiving ECT. For example, Zhu et al 29 found that the SpO 2 levels of patients undergoing ECT remained above 95% when they were ventilated using THRIVE, and adverse reactions such as hypoxemia, gastric insufflation, prolonged seizure time, and postoperative delirium were not observed. ...

... Patients with MO associated with chronic combined hypoxic and hypercapnic (paCO 2 ≥ 45 mmHg) respiratory failure are often referred under the misdiagnosis of COPD. In its severest form, this respiratory disorder is often associated with metabolic syndrome and almost always with OSA and is therefore highly relevant as regards the risk of perioperative cardiopulmonary complications (22). ...
