Scope of a short & obese patient for thymoma surgery with the risk of difficulty in weaning from general anaesthesia Krishna Prasad T Ajit Kumar Kayal Kavin AdhithyaBalu Sankar<p>Obese patients had more difficulty with tracheal intubation and a higher incidence of post-extubation stridor. Obesity is such a ubiquitous issue in our culture, and it is a significant risk factor for many diseases, thus it is not surprising that many obese patients are treated in ICU. The objective of this article is to explore challenges for short, obese patients (Little’s) in the critical care setting. Obese patients have a strong correlation between lung function and body fat distribution, with greater impairment when fat accumulates in the chest and abdomen. Mediastinal masses, particularly those located in the anterior mediastinum, can cause perioperative morbidity and mortality by causing major airway and vascular compression, which may be exacerbated under general anesthesia.</p><p><br></p> Open Journal of Chemistry - Peertechz Publications 2024-03-26 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/ojc.000035 en Copyright © Krishna Prasad T et al.
