ABSTRACT

Obesity is an epidemic health issue showing increasing numbers all over the world. In the United States one third of adults are obese and 10 percent of health cost is related to obesity. Airway management, vascular access and positioning can be more challenging. Anaesthesiologists need to be prepared to the particular challenges these patients pose in cardiac rooms. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is an alternative to perform cardiac surgical procedures that has been related to decreased rate of infection and lower transfusion rates. This case report outlines the perioperative anesthetic management of a super obese patient undergoing a minimally invasive mitral valve repair.
