Risk factors for extubation-related complications in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery: a retrospective cohort study
This study identified desaturation as the most common complication post-extubation of morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Moreover, we found that the odds of extubation-related complications increased with increasing obesity classes, particularly in patients with body mass index 50-59 kg/m<sup>2</sup> and > 60 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, as well as in patients with hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea. These findings suggest the importance of tailored extubation strategies and close perioperative monitoring in morbidly obese patients to mitigate extubation-related risks.
