Resume. Resuscitation of the obese patient presents a challenge for even the most skilled physician. Changes in anatomy, metabolic, cardiopulmonary reserve, ventilation, circulation, and pharmacokinetics require special consideration. This article focuses on critical components in the resuscitation of the obese patient, namely circulatory resuscitation, defibrillation, approach to the obese airway and mechanical ventilation, pharmacotherapy of cardiovascular drugs.Materials and methods: Electronic databases of Scopus and PubMed were searched using keyword searchesConclusions. Obesity causes important anatomical and physiological changes that affect resuscitation measures. Healthcare professionals should take into account the specifics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with morbid obesity to increase the effectiveness of resuscitation in this group of patients
