The anaesthesiologist has numerous obstacles when dealing with obese patients. Obesity's pathophysiologic consequences and anaesthetic implications require a thorough understanding. The anaesthesiologist must recognise and treat the higher risks and comorbidities that come with being obese, optimising multisystem function in the perioperative period to ensure optimal outcomes. Intravenous access, trouble measuring noninvasive blood pressure, problematic spinal, epidural, and difficult airway challenges should all be expected and planned for during surgery.
