Abstract
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of maternal morbidity and mortality. Morbid obesity associated with preeclampsia in a pregnancy is a great challenge to anaesthetist when patient requires caesarean section. Providing anesthesia for these patients presents unique challenges that can best be met through an understanding of the pathophysiologic changes associated with obesity and preeclampsia and with use of techniques that maximize benefits while reducing the risks of complications.
