Airway |
· Endobronchial intubation · Regurgitation -> aspiration upon flattening · Oedema -> CICO at extubation |
|
Breathing |
· Alveolar collapse -> ↓oxygenation · Restrictive deficit -> ↓ventilation *Exacerbated in obesity* |
|
Circulation |
· ↑Venous return -> ↑CVP -> masking of intra-op blood loss · Risk of profound hypotension on return to supine |
|
Disability/neuro |
· ↑ICP -> oedema -> risk narcosis and respiratory depression · ↑IOP -> risk blindness |
|
External |
· Sliding off the table · Brachial plexus injury · Compartment syndrome · Rhabdomyolysis |
