Sažetak
Overweight and obesity have become global health issues of epidemic proportions. In addition to the increased incidence of numerous diseases (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, obstructive sleep apnoea, osteoarthritis, cholelithiasis), overweight and obesity inherently increase the risk of complications during anaesthesiology procedures. Perioperative anaesthetic management of obese patients includes detailed preoperative evaluation, as well as the intraoperative and postoperative management. Given the current epidemiologic situation, the number of obese patients requiring surgery and anaesthesia is expected to rise in the future.
