Abstract

Obesity is a multisystemic and proinflammatory disease whose prevalence has been growing exponentially in recent years. Obesity increases the risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality and post-surgical complications, mainly respiratory, cardiovascular and thrombotic. One of the critical points for the anesthesiologist in bariatric surgery is the management of the airway. These patients have a high incidence of difficulty in ventilation with a face mask, correct pre-oxygenation and placing the patient in the “ramp position” for intubation is essential. At the Hospital Universitario de Getafe opioid-free anesthesia is used. These recommendations should be taken into account in any obese patient who is going to undergo any type of surgery.
