1 - Obesity & Thermal Injury Flashcards
What is the primary factor in the development of obesity?
genotype -environment also plays a role
-fat is considered an organ
___% of american adults have a BMI > 30
35%
BMI calculations
weight (kg)/Height (m^2)
(weight (lbs)/height (in^2) x 703
BMI Class & ASA)
25-29.9 = overweight
30-34.9 = obese class I
35 - 39.9 = obese class II
40-44.9 = obese class III / extreme (not morbid)
obese >45 = obese class IV/ severe
IBW
Broca’s index:
male = height (cm) - 100
female = height (cm) - 105
*may underdose obese because Vd is bigger
LBW
lean body weight = IBW x 1.3
*best to calc dose
Andriod
Apple heart disease, DM, HTN, dyspilidemia, death
Gynecoid
Pear varicose veins, joint disease
Obestiy: Cardiac
- increased metabolic demand
- increased CO (0.1 L/min for each kg of fat)
- increased workload to meet demand
What leads to HTN in the obese?
increased volume + RAAS activation
CAD
independent factor with obesity
HTN in obesity
SBP>140
DBP>90
OR BOTH (2x risk in obesity)
HTN and obesity characteristics…
increased: blood viscosity, mineralocorticoids, sodium reabsorption, RAA activation
And…hyperinsulinemia, comression of kidneys
Obesity: respiratory
- decreased compliance, FRC, ERV, VC, TLC
- F/V loop = restrictive
- increased dead space
- RV, CC, FVC and FEV1 dont change
- hypoventilation, hypercarbia, acidosis
OSA
definition: excessive episodes of apnea (10 sec) and hyponea.
>5 episodes per hour or 30/night
risk factor: BMI > 30, abdominal fat dist, large neck
- BMI>35 - OSA in 71-77%
- hypoxia, hypercapnia, systemi and pulm HTN, cardiac arrythmias
- gold standard - polysomnography
STOP-BANG
-93% sensitivity
Snoring
Tiredness
Observed apnea
high blood Pressure
BMI >35
Age
Neck (>40 cm)
Gender
0-2 = low risk
3-4 = Intermediate
>5 = high risk
Obese Hypoventilation (Pickwickian) Syndrome
- somnolence, cyanosis induced polycythemia, resp acidosis, R sided heart failure…
- elevated PaCO2
- right sided heart fail d/t hypoxic pulm vasoconstriction
DM
80% of NIDDM pts are obese, risk linear to BMI
Metabolic Syndrome
glucose intolerance, DM2, HTN, dyslipidemia, CVD
CV risk 50-60% above normal
Obesity: Pharmacology
-increased Vd (lipid soluble), increased blood volume, increased CO, decreased total body water, altered protein binding
IBW vs TBW
low lipophilicity = LBW, mainly goes to lean tissue
highy lipophilicity = TBW (usually), equal distribution to fatty and lean tissue, lipi soluble drugs
Obesity: GA and resp
- 50% reduced FRC compared to 20% in non-obese
- PEEP 6-10 ml/kg of IBW
