Abstract

Obesity is a widespread condition associated with a variety of mechanical, metabolic, and physiologic changes that affect outcomes and delivery of care in ICU. In particular, the metabolic response to critical illness of obese patients is characterized by changes in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fat, and in the utilization of proteins. The endocrine functions of adipose tissue might be involved role in the adaptive changes to critical illness.
