Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is increased frequency of asthma in obese patients. This study is trying to find out if there is a difference in the presence of bronchospasm during anesthesia in obese and non obese patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Obese patients come for surgery every day. In this specific population the frequency of asthma is high.

Problems from the respiratory system increase the morbidity, as they are a significant part of perioperative complications.

The frequency and the severity of bronchospasm have not been studied. Any data concerning the bronchospasm will lead to better perioperative management.

In this study the investigators study any sign of bronchospasm during surgery in obese patients.
