NHS London concern ↑ maternal deaths (2010)
London Midwifery Supervising Authority asked
CMACE to review 18/12 of deaths 2009-10
London’s MMR significantly higher than rest of UK
19.3 [95%CI 14.0,26.6] vs 8.6 [95%CI 7.1,10.5]

Obesity; Antenatal Anaesthetic
Assessment
• Mode of delivery – obstetric decision
• CMACE
– Anaesthetist to be informed when woman
BMI > 40kg/m2 is admitted
– IV cannula
• If vaginal delivery planned
– Consider early epidural
– ‘Must be effective and secure’
– Assess for potential ‘crash section’
-
‘Crash’
Caesarean section
‘Delivery < 30 min
Is it possible?

Obesity and Obstetric Anaesthesia
Practicalities
• Blood pressure cuffs vs arterial line
• Venous access
– Peripheral vs central
– Ultrasound ??
-
Arterial line under LA prior to
induction
OR – BP cuff on forearm?

Anaesthesia

Ultrasound
Midline
-
Siting the epidural
• Ultrasound
– Helps identify
midline
– May help define level
of vertebra
– Measure depth of
space

Which Interspace?
Higher is easier
Tilt the bed/table
-
Landmark location?
Line between gluteal cleft and cervical spines
-
Obesity and Epidural Anaesthesia
• Easier to perform ??
• Easier to titrate dose
• Reduced incidence of hypotension
• Facilitates prolonged surgery
• Post-op analgesia
• Fewer thrombo-embolic episodes ?
-
CSE
• Needle through needle ?
OR
• Separate spaces ?

Assessment for Anaesthesia
• Regional anaesthesia preferred
• BUT –
– Must have a Plan B

Obesity and General Anaesthesia
-
Obesity and General Anaesthesia
• Careful airway assessment
– Breast size
– Airway oedema
– Chin to Chest distance
– Range of head and neck movement
• Two anaesthetists
• Awake fiberoptic intubation

Ventilation strategies in the obese
• Meta-analysis.– BJA 2012; 109:493
• No differences between
– pressure controlled vs volume controlled
ventilation
• Recruitment manoeuvres + PEEP
– superior to PEEP (5-10cm) alone
• RM = increase PEEP, increase insp pressure
or both for short periods of time
-
Obesity and General Anaesthesia
• Mother must not be endangered to
deliver a distressed fetus

Obesity. The Human Element
• Social and professional stigmatization
• Obese less likely to go to university
• Employment discrimination
• Lower socio-economic group
• Less likely to be married
• Society
– Model-like slimness
-
Obesity. The Human Element
• Embarrassed and anxious
• Respect and kindness
• Pregnancy
– Not the time for weight
loss ???
– OR gain
• Honest about risks (not
frightening).
• Post-partum
– Inform re ongoing risks
– Bariatric surgery
-
Obesity. Treatment
• Adjust food intake
– Until normal body wt is restored
• ‘Diets don’t work’
• Exercise
• Most effective therapy
– Bariatric surgery
-
Bariatric surgery
• Fertility may improve
• ?? delay conception for 18-24 months
• Gastric band– Surgical monitoring, might need adjusting
• Nutritional deficiencies not uncommon– Fe, Folic acid and Vit B12
– Vit D and calcium
• Not an indication for CS
-
Positive factors about Obesity

incidence of PDPH

ANAESTHESIA FOR THE OBESE PATIENT: BMI>35KG/M2
Preoperative Evaluation
Operative Management
Post Operative Management
Ramping Ear level with sternum. Reduces risk
of difficult laryngoscopy, improves
ventilation.
Drug dosing- what weight to use? Induction agents: titrate to cardiac output- this equates to lean
body weight in a fit patient. Competetive muscle relaxants: use ideal body weight.
Suxamethonium use total body weight to a maximum of 200mg Neostigmine: Increase dose
Opioids: Use Ideal body weight. Care with obstructive apnoea! TCI propofol: IBW plus 40% excess weight
If in doubt, titrate and monitor effect!
Lean Body Weight plateaus ≈90kg for a man, ≈70kg for a woman. Ideal Body Weight in Kg - Broca formula
Men: height in cm minus 100 Women: height in cm minus 105
Day Case Patients: Avoid long-acting opioids. Use multimodal analgesia including local anaesthetic. May discharge if
baseline SpO2 maintained on air without stimulation, no apnoea and routine discharge criteria attained. Consider LMWH for 10-14 days. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea or Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome: Avoid sedatives and post-op opioids. Reinstate
CPAP if using it pre-op. Additional time in recovery recommended, only discharge to the ward if free of apnoeas
without stimulation. Patients intolerant of, or untreated with CPAP are at risk of hypoventilation and require continuous oxygen saturation monitoring. In-patients: Multimodal analgesia, caution with long-acting opioids and sedatives. Mobilise early. Ensure
thromboprophylaxis administered. Admit to HDU/ICU if significant co-morbidity or if major surgery undertaken.
Central Obesity (waist > half height)
Difficult airway /Ventilation problems more likely Greater risk of CVS disease
-Risk of Metabolic syndrome: Dyslipidaemia, Insulin resistance
Prothrombotic, Proinflammatory
Peripheral Obesity
(Fat outside body cavity)
Less co-morbidity
Anaesthetic Technique Anatacid premed, pre-op analgesia, careful
glucose control. DVT prophylaxis.
Self-position on operating table.
Preoxygenate & intubate in ramped position,
Minimize induction to ventilation interval to
avoid desaturation.
Avoid spontaneous ventilation.
Tracheal Intubation recommended.
Use short-acting agents e.g. desflurane or
propofol infusion. Short-acting opioids,
multimodal analgesia. PONV prophylaxis.
Ensure full NMB reversal.
Extubate and recover in head up position.
Suggested Equipment Suitable bed/trolley & operating table Gel padding, wide strapping, table
extensions/arm boards
Large BP cuff, or forearm cuff,
Ramping device, Step for anaesthetist
Difficult airway equipment, Ventilator
capable of PEEP and pressure modalities,
Hover mattress or equivalent.
Long needles and femoral cannulae
Ultrasound machine
Depth of anaesthesia and neuromuscular
monitoring.
Enough staff to move patient.
