distribution, binding andelimination.Oral absorptionremains unchanged.Volume ofdistribution [V D] – Increased inall lipophilic drugs and therebyreducing the elimination half life.The increased concentrationsof triglycerides, lipoproteins,cholesterol and free fatty acidsmay inhibit protein binding andincrease free fraction of thedrugs. The increase in á 1acidglycoprotein may increase degreeof protein binding of localanesthetics and reduce the freefraction.Elimination – Hepaticclearance is not normally reducedin the obese. Phase I reactions[oxidation, reduction andhydrolysis] are normal orincreased and metabolism byPhase II reactions is consistentlyincreased. Increased reductivemetabolism may be an importantfactor in development ofhalothane induced hepatotoxicityin obese patients at risk fromhypoxemia and reduced liverblood flow. Renal clearanceincreases in obesity because ofthe increased renal blood flowand glomerular filtration rate.Thetable below highlights the effectof obesity on common anestheticagents.Table 7: Effect of obesity on anesthetic agents.Drug Altered pharmacokinetics ImplicationsThiopentone V D/ prolonged T 1/2Increased absolute dose/ reduceddose by body wt/ prolonged actionPropofol Little known Dose calculated by Servin’s formulafor corrected body weight [ IBW+ 0.4 X excess body wight.Midazolam/ !
