N2  - Mechanical ventilation under GA causes changes in lung & cardiovascular  physiology. The function of the respiratory system is further affected by abdominal  surgery. Obesity contributes to further pathophysiological changes in respiratory  system making these patients more prone to perioperative complications, such as  hypoxemia, hypercapnia & atelectasis. Impaired oxygenation of blood occurs in most subjects who are anesthetized.  Immediately after the induction of GA, atelectasis develops, leading to a reduction  in both V/Q ratio & pulmonary compliance, even in non-obese patients and is thought to be responsible for perioperative respiratory complications, contributing  to additional morbidity & healthcare costs.
