Anesthesia and Obesity Flashcards
predicted body weight
similar to IBW
MALE: PWB
(KG) = 50 + (0.91 X HEIGHT IN CM – 152.4)
FEMALE: PWB
FEMALE: PWB (KG) = 45.5 + (0.91 X HEIGHT IN CM – 152.4)
1 meter=ft
3.28ft
1 meter = cm
100cm
1ft=meters
0.3meters
1in=cm
2.54cm
BMI=
weight (KG) /HT(meters)2
does BMI distinguish between overweight and overfat?
IT CANNOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN OVERWEIGHT AND OVERFAT VERSUS HEAVILY MUSCLED AND CAN BE EASILY CLASSIFIED AS OVERWEIGHT USING BMI
does BMI take age, distribution into consideration
no, OTHER FACTORS SUCH AS AGE, FAT, CONTENT, AND DISTRIBUTION (WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE AND WAIST TO HIP RATIO)
normal BMI
18.5-24.9
underweight bmi
<18.5
overweight bmi
25-29.9
obese 1 bmi
30-34.9
obesity 2 bmi
35-39.9
morbid obesity III bmi
> /equal 40
obesity class II risk of systemic disease
increased
GYNECOID:
PERIPHERAL OBESITY: ADIPOSE TISSUE IS LOCATED PREDOMINANTLY IN THE HIPS, BUTTOCKS, AND THIGHS. THIS FAT IS LESS METABOLICALLY ACTIVE SO IT IS LESS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH CVD.
VISCERAL FAT:
PARTICULAR ASSOCIATED WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND LVD (LEFT VENTRICLE DYSFUNCTION)
ANDROID: CENTRAL OBESITY:
ADIPOSE TISSUE IS LOCATED PREDOMINANTLY IN THE UPPER BODY (TRUNCAL DISTRIBUTION) AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION AND INCREASE INCIDENCE OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
waist circumference correlate with what?
abdominal fat and is an independent risk predicator of disease
PATHOLOGY AND ANATOMIC DISTRIBUTION OF BODY FAT
BODY CIRCUMFERENCE INDICES SUCH AS WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE, WAIST-TO-HEIGHT RATIO, AND WAIST-TO-HIP RATIO HELP TO CLASSIFY THESE PATTERNS OF OBESITY (EX: ANDROID vs GYNECOID OBESITY) AND CORRELATE WITH MORTALITY AND THE RISK FOR DEVELOPING OBESITY RELATED DISEASE.
PHENTERMINE (adipex-p)
PHENTERMINE (ADIPEX-P): APPROVED FOR USE 3 MONTHS AT A TIME. CAN INDUCE TACHY PALPITATIONS, HYPERTENSION. CAN BE ADDICTIVE AND HAVE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS
what needs to be considered prior to surgery with phentermine
NEEDS TO BE STOPPED PRIOR TO SURGERY. CAN HAVE SAME EFFECTS AS AN AMPHETAMINE (CARDIAC ETC. ). SEE YOUR INSTITUTION FOR HOW LONG PRIOR TO SURGERY THIS DRUG NEEDS TO BE STOPPED
when should you stop phentermine
HAVE SEEN AS LITTLE AS 48 HOURS AND AS LONG AS 3 WEEKS WHEN IT COMES TO STOPPING PHENTERMINE
PHENTERMINE AND TOPAMAX (COMBO): will show what?
PHENTERMINE AND TOPAMAX (COMBO): DRY MOUTH, PARESTHESIAS, CONSTIPATION, INSOMNIA, DIZZINESS
DECREASED LUNG COMPLIANCE
FAT ACCUMULATION ON THORAX AND ABDOMEN RESULTS IN DECREASE CHEST WALL AND LUNG COMPLIANCE
obesity have what for their respiratory system
INCREASE IN OVERALL BLOOD VOLUME AND PULMONARY BLOOD VOLUME
tell me about obesity and lung compliance and elastic resistance
INCREASED ELASTIC RESISTANCE AND DECREASE IN CHEST WALL COMPLIANCE ARE FURTHER REDUCED WHEN SUPINE RESULTING IN SHALLOW AND RAPID BREATHING AND LIMITED MAXIMUM VENTILATORY CAPACITY. RESPIRATORY MUSCLES EFFICIENCY ARE BELOW NORMAL
what is the most commonly reported abnormalities of pulmonary function in obese patients
decrease in FRC and ERV
what is the decreased FRC, VC and total lung capacity result of
reduced expiratory reserve volume
what is the relationship between FRC and closing capacity (volume at which small airways begin to close)
volume at which small airways begin to close is adversely affected
what occurs with 02 consumption and co2 even at rest
obesity increases 02 consumption and co2 production even at rest
anesthesia and supine position decreases FRC up to what percent in obesity compared to what percent in non obese patients
50% obese
20% non obese
reduced FRC
REDUCED FRC (DUE TO DECREASE ERV) CAN RESULT IN LUNG VOLUMES BELOW CLOSING CAPACITY IN THE COURSE OF NORMAL TIDAL VENTILATION, LEADING TO SMALL AIRWAY CLOSURE, VENTILATION-PERFUSION MISMATCH, RIGHT TO LEFT SHUNTING AND ARTERIAL HYPOXEMIA.
OSA is more likely to be cause by what
excessive soft tissue
