The dramatic increase in obesity in the general population is accompanied by a concomitant increase in bariatric surgical programs. Gastrointestinal endoscopy has an important role in patient evaluation, postoperative management, and emerging endoscopic bariatric therapies. Endoscopy units must address special design and equipment needs of obese patients in short- and long-range planning. Obese people require more health care resources than nonobese people, with increased physical challenges for staff in administering that care. This article details endoscopy unit considerations pertaining to the bariatric patient, which may apply to pretreatment endoscopic evaluation, managing postoperative bariatric surgical complications, and emerging endoluminal bariatric therapies.
普通人群中肥胖率的急剧上升伴随着减肥手术项目的相应增加。胃肠内镜检查在患者评估、术后管理以及新兴的内镜减肥治疗中发挥着重要作用。内镜科室在短期和长期规划中必须考虑肥胖患者的特殊设计和设备需求。肥胖人群比非肥胖人群需要更多的医疗资源，这给医护人员提供护理带来了更多的身体挑战。本文详细介绍了与肥胖患者相关的内镜科室注意事项，这些注意事项可能适用于术前内镜评估、处理减肥手术后的并发症以及新兴的腔内减肥治疗。
