Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Obesity, associated with a greater chance of difficult/failed intubation, as well as bag-mask ventilation is also known to be troublesome. Obese patients present a different set of challenges and require specific peri-operative care and a robust airway strategy must be planned and discussed, as desaturation occurs quickly and airway management can be difficult.
