Traditional Resuscitative Practices Fail To Resolve Metabolic Acidosis in Morbidly Obese Patients After Severe Blunt Trauma Academic Article Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Obesity is a risk factor for postinjury complications; in particular, obese patients develop multiple organ failure (MOF) at a greater rate than do normal weight counterparts. Evaluation of differences in resuscitative practices altered by body mass index (BMI) might provide an explanation for the increased risk of MOF seen in these high-risk patients.
