Introduction Agenda Effects of GA on respiratory function in morbidly obese patients: - Lung volume - Atelectasis and airway closure - Gas-Exchange - Respiratory compliance - Respiratory resistance Effects of Recruitment and PEEP Prone Position/Laparoscopic surgery Conclusions What to do? Airway closure - Low Tidal Volume (<10 ml/kg PBW) - PEEP (to raise EELV) Atelectasis - PEEP - Recruitment - Avoid high F I O 2 (<0.8) 11
