Recovery of Ventilation After General Anesthesia in Morbidly Obese Patients

NCT03925610 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 8

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is an observational study of morbidly obese patients recovering from general anesthesia after weight-loss surgery. The investigators aim to assess ventilatory function and how this is influenced by the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), baseline ventilatory status, as well as pharyngeal collapsibility of patients who are recovering from anesthesia and treated for pain with opioids. The investigators hypothesize that patients with OSA, chronic (baseline) hypoventilation and increased pharyngeal collapsibility, will be more vulnerable to opioid-induced ventilatory depression.
