Obesity significantly impacts anaesthesia care, requiring a tailored approach to ensure patient safety and optimize outcomes. In this webinar, we explore the ‘ABCDE’ framework for anaesthetizing obese patients—Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Diabetes, and Emergency care. From managing airway and ventilation issues to optimizing cardiovascular health and diabetes control, we’ll cover essential strategies for peri-operative management. Join us for a comprehensive discussion on how to navigate the complexities of anaesthesia in obese patients, enhancing both the safety and effectiveness of your care.
