Abstract
- Surgery and general anesthesia can both lead to impaired lung function, abnormal gas exchange and abnormal respiratory mechanics in obese patients. A 37 year old obese female who had obesity hypoventilation syndrome underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. She experienced hypercapnic respiratory failure during and after the operation period. It is important to recognize the pathophysiologic changes of obesity and prepare for the possible complications during anesthesia and surgery of obese patients.
