About this study
Official title: Have NCH Obesity Guidelines Made an Impact? Differences in Anesthetizing the Obese Child in Outpatient Sites Versus Main OR at NCH.
The investigators are concerned about anesthetizing obese children in outpatient locations in case they need prolonged stay, increased respiratory interventions, or need for post-operative narcotics. The investigators will be using a screening guideline to help us determine the higher risk child based on BMI and co-morbid conditions. The investigators will also be doing a retrospective chart review of 300 patients with BMI 95% and looking at various factors during the operative and post-operative period.
