Abstract

The prevalence of obesity is increasing globally. Rational perioperative anesthetic drug selection and administration require knowledge of how obesity interacts with those drugs. In this review, we summarize different aspects of the anesthetic agents, including pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and clinical application of the most commonly used medications with particular focus on the enhanced recovery of the obese patient.

Keywords: Bariatric surgery, obesity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, enhanced recovery, analgesia.
