    Clear, evidence-based explanations of anesthetic procedures, risks, and safety protocols. Access cutting-edge research including the NAP4 and NAP5 audit projects, and learn why the "ob*sity paradox" shows fat patients often have better surgical outcomes than thin patients.

  • Advocacy

    Practical tools to challenge weight-based care restrictions, including specific scripts to use with healthcare providers, questions that expose the lack of evidence behind BMI limits, and references to professional anesthetic guidelines that support safe care for all body sizes.

  • Choice

    Multiple ways to access the information that works best for you - watch the video, listen to the audio, or work through the downloadable slides. Plus access to all the research references so you can verify every claim and use the evidence in your own advocacy efforts.
