BMI formula
weight (in kg) / height (in meters)^2
or
weight (lbs) / Height (inches^2) x 703
side note how many inches in 1 meter (for BMI conversion)
0.0254
Calculate BMI using either or both formulas for 6’9” man who weight 300lbs (round it off JAKE)
300lbs=136kg 6'9"= 81 inches (6,561 inches^2) 81 inches= 2.0574 meters (4.2 meters ^2) ok so.... 136kg/4.2m^2=32.3 kg/m^2 or 300lbs / 6,562 inches^2 x 703 = 32.1
BMI ranges under weight Normal overweight obese I obese II extremly obese III superobese super-super obese
under weight- < 18.5 Normal- 18.5-24.9 overweight- 25-29.9 obese I- 30-34.9 obese II- 35-39.9 extremly obese III- > 40 superobese- >50 super-super obese- > 60
IBW formulas
MEN:
height (cm) - 100
WOMEN:
Height (cm) - 105
side note how many cm in an inch
- 54cm
* **(so for IBW use 2.54 conversion for inches to cm and for BMI use 0.0254 for inches to meters)
calculate IBW
MAN- 18’9”
WOMAN- 5’8”
man 18'9"= 225inches=571.5 cm so 571.5-100= 471 kg woman 5'8"=68 inches=172.72cm so 172.72cm-105=67.72kg
how is IBW recorded
Kg
what % of U.S. adults are overweight or obese
65%
what % of U.S. adults are obese
30%
re-read N&P pg 1036 aspiration prophylaxis and consider inLMA is ALWAYS contraindicatedbin obese pt?
-it is known GERD and hiatal hernia are more prevalent in the obese, and this may predispose them to esophagitis and pulmonaryaspiration
- More recent data, howver, have demonstrated that obese pts (BMI > 30) may have lower incidence of “at rrisk” stomach contents compared to lean pts
-in one study researchers evaluated gastric contents of 232 surgical pts. only 20 of 75 (27%) had high, volume, low PH stomach contnets, compared to 66 of 157 (42%) of lean pts
-more recent studies have also demonstrated that obese pt’s who are fasting may not have gastric PH and volumes that would put them at risk for Pulmonary aspiration.
-there is no concensus on wheter obese pts have delayed, normal, or accelerated gastric emptying
-obesity is significantly r/t GERD
-More recent and favorable data, some advocate the ovoidance of RSI on obese pt’s as standard of care
SO I WOULD SAY NO
indications for bariatric sx
u have dieted and failed
