Anesthesia for thoracic surgery in morbidly obese patients.
Curr Opin Anaesthesiol. 2007; (1): 10-4

Obese patients have altered anatomy and physiology, and usually have associated comorbid medical conditions that may complicate their operative course and increase their risks for postoperative complications.
