Obese patients present particular problems for anesthesia: sedative premedications should be avoided to reduce the risk of a collapsed airway; their increased body mass and high percentage of adipose requires more oxygen predisposing them to hypoxia; The extra body mass over the chest decreases chest wall compliance making breathing difficult; obese patients tend to have multi organ system problems including HT, DMT2; alterations in volumes of distribution (reduction in total body water), and the binding and elimination of drugs is unpredictable. Lipid soluble drugs, including the?, fentanyl and propofol, are very likely to have a prolonged duration of effect. A. Volatile agents B. Water soluble barbiturates C. Water soluble benzodiazepines D. All of the above E. B & C only 12.
