Have NCH Obesity Guidelines Made an Impact? Differences in Anesthetizing the Obese Child in Outpatient Sites Versus Main OR at NCH.
The investigators are concerned about anesthetizing obese children in outpatient locations
in case they need prolonged stay, increased respiratory interventions, or need for
post-operative narcotics. The investigators will be using a screening guideline to help us
determine the higher risk child based on BMI and co-morbid conditions. The investigators
will also be doing a retrospective chart review of 300 patients with BMI 95% and looking at
various factors during the operative and post-operative period.
