In this seminar, Dr Lan-Hoa Lê discusses obese and bariatric airway management for general anaesthesia surgery and presents a strategy used to reduce desaturation for general induction. Dr Lê also identifies factors increasing risk of potential failure to intubate and assesses key factors reducing desaturation during extubation. 

Learning Outcomes

1. Identify the default airway position and its implication
2. Diagnose the factors that increase the risk of potential failure to intubate
3. Recognise the factors that increase the risk of desaturation
4. Define, in the audit presented, the strategy used to reduce desaturation for general anaesthesia induction
5. Determine the key factors in optimal pre-oxygenation
6. Assess the key factors reducing desaturation during extubation.
