Morbid Obez Hastada İntraoperatif Spinal Enjeksiyon

Morbid obezite dünya genelinde hızla artan bir sağlık problemidir. Anestezistler, elektif ve acil cerrahi gereken, artan sayıda obez hasta ile karşılaşmaktadır. Morbid obezite ile birlikte kardiyovasküler, pulmoner, dejeneratif eklem hastalıkları, obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu gibi klinik problemler görülebilmektedir. Morbid obez hastalarda genel anesteziye bağlı atelektazi nedeniyle operasyon sırasında ve sonrasında hipoksiye bağlı komplikasyonlar görülebilmektedir. Bu yazıda spinal anestezi altında spinal cerrahi uygulanan morbid obez olgu irdelendi. Spinal bloğun etkisinin, cerrahi bitmeden geçmesi üzerine, cerrah tarafından operasyon alanından spinal anestezi uygulandı ve operasyon komplikasyonsuz tamamlandı. Olgu ertesi gün taburcu edildi. Genel anestezinin riskli olduğu uygun vakalarda rejyonel anestezi uygulanmasının, perioperatif komplikasyonları ve hastanede kalış süresini azaltacağı kanaatindeyiz. Anahtar kelimeler: Morbid Obezite; Spinal Cerrahi; Spinal Anestezi.

Intraoperative Spinal Injection in a Morbidly Obese Patient

Morbid obesity is becoming a worldwide health concern. Anesthesiologists face increasing numbers of obese patients requiring elective and emergency surgeries. Morbid obesity is associated with cardiovascular, pulmonary, degenerative joint disorders, and clinical syndromes such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Hypoxic events are common in anesthetised morbidly obese patients due to atelectasis. This paper discusses spinal surgery with spinal anesthesia in a morbidly obese patient. The spinal block ended before the surgery was completed and the surgeon injected local anesthetic intradurally through the surgical incision and the operation ended without any complications. The patient was discharged the next day. We conclude that in selected cases when general anesthesia increases the risk, regional anesthesia may decrease perioperative complications and hospital stay. Key words: Morbid Obesity; Spinal Surgery; Spinal Anesthesia.
