Caring for patients with obesity demands more than “just higher doses.” This course walks you system-by-system through the unique respiratory, cardiovascular, GI, hematologic, musculoskeletal, and airway risks that reshape anesthetic management in this growing population. You’ll learn how obesity alters pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, when and why to dose to IBW or LBW (and when TBW really matters), and how to optimize positioning, ventilation, monitoring, and prophylaxis to reduce complications. By the end, you’ll be equipped with practical, evidence-based strategies to safely navigate even the most complex obese surgical patients.
