The number of obese subjects has doubled during the last 25 years to reach more than 600 million subjects in 2015. Considering the 100 million obese children in the world, obesity’s future is assured at least for the next generation. Of course, the continuously increasing incidence of the disease is problematic, but the new alarming phenomenon is the explosion of the cases of massively obese indi- viduals. Indeed, the higher the severity of obesity according to body mass index, the higher the incidence of obesity-associated cardio-respiratory disorders and meta- bolic diseases. Obesity-induced chronic respiratory failure—commonly referred to as obesity hypoventilation syndrome—is encountered in more than half of the superobese patients with a BMI exceeding 50 kg·m−2. The management of these patients in the emergency setting is often challenging and raises specific problems that must be addressed and overcome at the bedside in a short time. At the interface between multiple health specialties, the obese patient usually requires a time- consuming multidisciplinary approach involving different stakeholders in respira- tory care, cardiovascular diseases, endocrinology, surgery, anesthesiology, and also a necessary implication of the nursing staff. This book is intended to highlight the critically ill obese patient’s specificities that must be taken into account when mechanical ventilation is part of the therapeutic management of such a patient. Given the singularity of the massively obese critically ill patient, it can be assumed that an individualizing care approach is particularly adapted for this topic. Good knowledge of the respiratory physiology and cardio-respiratory interactions appears to be an essential prerequisite to the management of a critically ill obese patient, especially when oxygenation and mechanical ventilation are needed. The first part of the book is devoted to delivering insight into the basic understanding of the phys- iological characteristics of the respiratory system of the obese patient and their implications for mechanical ventilation. The second part deals with the comorbidi- ties of the obese patient and the causes of acute respiratory failure that can impact on the outcome. The third part of the book includes chapters about preoxygenation, positioning, recruitment strategy, sedation and analgesia during invasive mechani- cal ventilation, and its associated complications. Another part is about noninvasive ventilation and the promising technique of high-flow oxygen via nasal cannula, which both have the potential to avoid the resort to invasive mechanical ventilation in many situations. Finally, nutritional support and outcome after mechanical v vi Preface ventilation are two main issues that are developed in the last part. We are convinced that this book provides a useful didactic tool for an everyday practice of critical care medicine in obese patients with respiratory failure. Both editors are very grateful to all authors for their valuable contribution to the book. We are deeply aware of the time they spent in writing the chapters, making it possible to share their knowledge and expertise with the readers. We greatly appre- ciate having so many internationally recognized experts in the field of obesity and mechanical ventilation who accepted to participate in the writing of this book.
