Summary: | Obesity is a condition that affects multiple organ systems, particularly the cardiovascular and respiratory system. In recent years, bariatric surgery has been reported to be the gold standard in the treatment of morbid obesity. Body mass index alone is insufficient to predict risks related to anaesthesia and surgery. Obesity contributes to significant postoperative atelectasis and is considered an independent risk factor for postoperative atelectasis owing to decreased functional residual capacity. The treatment and reversibility of atelectasis developed in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery are challenging. Therefore, an optimisation of pulmonary functions before surgery, lung-sparing ventilation during the perioperative period, awareness of potential postoperative complications and knowledge about preventive measures and therapeutic approaches have become increasingly important in bariatric surgery. The aim of this review was to aid clinicians in the management of atelectasis in patients undergoing bariatric surgery during the perioperative and postoperative period. |
