Observational studies have shown an increasing incidence of syncope and pre-syncope following bariatric surgery in obese patients. However, there is paucity of the true incidence of syncope following bariatrics sugary in the literature. Methods: We have randomly surveyed 200 patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2016-2018 using Calgary Syncope Score (CSS). Results: Of the 200 patients enrolled, 107 (53.5%) were female with 167 patients (83.5%) between 18 and 50 years of age. The most-reported comorbidities were diabetes mellitus 26 (13%) hypertension 25 (12.5%) and pulmonary disease 18 (9%). The majority 98 (49%) of the patients had pre-operative body mass index (BMI) of 40–50 kg/m2, and most of them had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Sixty-two (31%) patients had vasovagal syncope (VVS), 52 (26%) patients had non-VVS and 86 (43%) had no syncope. Conclusion: Vasovagal syncope in patients following bariatric sugary is quite common and affects 15% of bariatric patients in our series in the first year postoperatively. Further randomized controlled trials are required to prove our results.http://www.saudija.org/article.asp?issn=1658-354X;year=2021;volume=15;issue=2;spage=161;epage=164;aulast=Alautonomic dysfunctionbariatric surgeryvasovagal syncope |
