title: [Successful implementation of shortened postoperative period program after ten hours of general anaesthesia in patient with morbid obesity].
abstract: Early patient's activation is the best method of prophylaxis of many complications of the postoperative period. Patients with obesity are at high risk of developing complications in respiratory system. The following clinical report is about the successful implementation of the shortened postoperative period program in patient with morbid obesity after general desflurane maintained anesthesia and, at the same time, epidural ropivacaine-based anesthesia. Anesthesia lasted for 10 hours. The intraoperative period was well controlled and characterized with stable hemodynamic indexes. On the fourth minute after desflurane intake was terminated and recovery of consciousness and spontaneous breathing of the patient were registered, patient was extubated. This clinical experience and also an information than can be found in the earlier publications allow us to consider a desflurane maintained anesthesia as one of the safest and comfortable methods of anesthesia for patients with a morbid obesity.
