Delhi: AIIMS Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Pain Medicine and Critical Care Department, Dr. Sulagna Bhattacharya says, "This case was very difficult from the beginning to the end of the surgery. The patient was having severe breathing difficulties because he had obstructive sleep apnea and hypoventilation syndrome. The oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in his blood were highly abnormal. We tried to manage him with non-invasive ventilation, but it was not successful. We had to provide mechanical ventilation in an emergency. To provide invasive mechanical ventilation, we had to insert a tube into the patient's airway. We first performed a tracheostomy and then inserted the tube into the trachea. These procedures were very risky because the patient had excessive fat around his neck and chest. Positioning the patient correctly was very difficult..."

Delhi: AIIMS Professor of Surgery, Surgical Disciplines Department, Dr. Manjunath Maruti Pol says, "...Through this case, we want to highlight that a patient was referred to us from the GI Surgery Department of a private hospital. When we examined the patient, conducted all the investigations, understood his medical history, and advised him that he had already tried other treatments and had reached a stage where there was no option left other than surgery. So, surgery was an option, and he had to make a decision. It is not unusual to be afraid of surgery; everyone knows that the outcomes of different types of surgeries can vary. When this patient came to our clinic at AIIMS, his weight was around 180 kg. This was three months ago, and it took him at least one month to decide about the surgery. He went back and returned after more than a month, by which time his weight had increased to 209 kg..."

एनेस्थीसिया विभाग की डॉ. सुलग्ना भट्टाचार्य ने बताया कि ''मरीज का पहले आईसीयू में श्वसन विफलता (रेस्पिरेटरी फेलियर) और संक्रमण का इलाज किया गया, इसके बाद बेरियाट्रिक सर्जरी के दौरान वेंटिलेशन बड़ी चुनौती था, लेकिन बेहतर योजना, टीमवर्क और मल्टी-डिसिप्लिनरी केयर से ऑपरेशन सफल रहा। ऑपरेशन के बाद मरीज को धीरे-धीरे वेंटिलेटर और सीपैप (CPAP) सपोर्ट से भी बाहर निकाल लिया गया''।

Shameless act of aggresion, heckling the medical team, hampering work in a time of crisis, defying all norms by entering a ward with camera and equipments from outside, conveniently attacking the helpless doctors and the hospital
staff, conveniently letting go responsible netas.
