A UK study found that obese patients are twice as likely as non-obese patients to develop airway problems during general anaesthesia (Cook et al 2011). This article focuses on airway management of morbidly obese patients during anaesthesia and examines the associated respiratory, gastric, and existing co-morbidity complications that can be expected. Strategies that practitioners can use to reduce these risks are discussed.
英国一项研究发现，肥胖患者在全身麻醉期间出现气道问题的可能性是非肥胖患者的两倍（库克等人，2011年）。本文重点关注病态肥胖患者麻醉期间的气道管理，并探讨可能出现的相关呼吸、胃部及现有合并症并发症。文中还讨论了从业者可用于降低这些风险的策略。
