Abstract

Despite healthy lifestyle campaigns and diet programs Obesity is still a global problem. Considering this fact, the increase in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery is inevitable. Since obesity is affecting many organ systems, the perioperative management of the bariatric surgical patient provides a number of challenges. Preoperative assessment and preparation considering the specific pathophysiology of this patients are important to reduce mortality and morbidity. Anesthesia management and postoperative care should also be performed with consideration of the risks and comorbidities of these patients. This review will focus on the preoperative, peroperative and postoperative anesthesia management of bariatric surgical patients.
