Decreased compliance <strong>and</strong> increased resistance<br />
Shallow <strong>and</strong> rapid breathing - Increased work of<br />
breathing<br />
Decreased FRC/Decreased Vital capacity / Decreased<br />
Total lung capacity<br />
FRC less than closing capacity<br />
Anesthesia- 50% reduction of FRC in obese patients<br />
as compared to 20% in non obese<br />
Increased oxygen consumption <strong>and</strong> CO 2 production<br />
even at rest
