Adolescent paraplegia, morbid obesity, and pickwickian syndrome: outcome of gastric bypass surgery

A breast-fed 4-month-old infant girl observed since birth had gained only 1230 g (2 lb 11 oz). The mother had three older children with birth weights of 3440 g (7 lb 9 oz), 4000 g (8 lb 13 oz), and 4895 g (10 lb 13 oz). All were exclusively breast-fed and thrived, eventually growing between the 25th and 50th percentiles on the National Center for Health Statistics growth charts. The mother also had five miscarriages during these 7 years. She had gastric bypass surgery for morbid obesity between her third and fourth children. She had lost 49 kg (109 lb) (114 kg to 65 kg) [254 lb to 145 lb]) in the first 12 months after surgery and had been stable at her new weight for 4 months prior to becoming pregnant with this baby.

Administration Methods

The landmark paper discussed in this chapter is ‘Patient-controlled analgesia: A new concept of postoperative pain relief’, published by Bennett et al. in 1982. This paper presents data from two investigations in which patient-controlled analgesia using morphine was evaluated in patients who had undergone elective gastric bypass surgery for the management of morbid obesity. The paper shows that patient-controlled analgesia achieved adequate analgesia more often than conventional intermittent analgesia did when both administration methods were compared, but with less sedation. In addition, patients who had experienced both methods of analgesia felt that patient-controlled analgesia was superior. The paper also demonstrates that individuals can vary in their analgesic requirements.
