The aim of this article is to highlight the anaesthetic management of patients undergoing bariatric (weight loss) surgery. There are different types of commonly performed procedures, each of which require careful perioperative and postoperative management. Those principles can successfully be extrapolated to obese patients undergoing non-obesity surgery.
An estimate from the World Health Organization assumes that about 450 million people suffer from mental and behavioral disorders worldwide. In the UK, the lifetime prevalence of mental health conditions is upwards of 10%. Despite this, there is surprisingly little in the way of guidelines for the perioperative management of patients on psychoactive medications and it is largely based on the individual clinician's experience.
