OBJECTIVE
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is often diagnosed late. The aim of this study was to analyse gender differences at initiation of long-term mechanical ventilation (LTMV) in patients with (OHS), to analyse gender differences in treatment effect and to study how the prescription of
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and some neuromuscular diseases (NMD) present with hypercapnic respiratory failure. Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is important in the diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment response of these diseases. However, ABG sampling is difficult in these BACKGROUND
Polygraphy (PG) remains the standard method of assessing noninvasive ventilation (NIV) effectiveness. Built-in software (BIS) of recent NIV equipment provides estimates of some ventilator parameters, but their usefulness is unclear.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the reliability of BIS compared with
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an effective form of treatment in obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, there is paucity of evidence in OHS patients without severe OSA phenotype.Is NIV effective in OHS A survey of our pulmonary service revealed little consensus as to the definition, work-up, and management of hypoventilation, more often encountered in the presence of obesity. If hypoventilation is defined by an arterial carbon dioxide level above 45mmHg, 22% of artrial blood gas samples over a
Study objectives: Blunted ventilatory responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia during resting conditions are common findings in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). Exercise increases the work and oxygen cost of breathing and
Some patients with obesity show chronic hypercapnia while awake. Such patients are referred to as obesity hypoventilation syndrome(OHS). Particularly, patients with profound obesity who have clinical features of sleep disordered breathing, hypersomnolence, cor pulmonale and so on represent the
The obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (or alveolar hypoventilation in the obese) is a new name for an old syndrome, Pickwickian syndrome. It is defined as chronic alveolar hypoventilation (PaO(2)<70 mmHg, PaCO(2) > 45 mmHg) in obese patient with a body mass index > 30 kg/m(2) who have no other
OBJECTIVE
To clarify the prevalence and clinical characteristics of obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) in a large number of patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
METHODS
Subjects comprised 611 patients with OSAS registered from 7 sleep centers and clinics and
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may occur in association with obesity-hypoventilation (Pickwickian) syndrome, a disorder of ventilatory control affecting individuals with morbid obesity. Through the pressor effects of chronic hypercapnia and hypoxemia, this syndrome may result in pulmonary
BACKGROUND
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) can be overlooked unless clinicians have a high index of suspicion. The present case-control study aimed to compare characteristics of patients with OHS and obese obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and to identify determinants of hypercapnia in
The obesity-hypoventilation syndrome is rare in children, but it leads to serious complications and is associated with a high mortality. We report a child with this syndrome whose condition improved after intestinal bypass surgery. Review of the literature indicates that vigorous treatment of this
The overlap syndrome of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in addition to obesity hypoventilation syndrome, represents growing health concerns, owing to the worldwide COPD and obesity epidemics and related co-morbidities. These disorders constitute the
The obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) refers to the combination of obesity, daytime hypercapnia and sleep-disordered breathing. Obesity has risen to epidemic proportions in the last three decades in the United States, Mexico and Europe. The OHS is associated with obstructive sleep apnea
BACKGROUND
Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is not a routine test in sleep laboratories due to its invasive nature. Therefore, the diagnosis of obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is underestimated. We aimed to evaluate the differences in subjects with OHS and pure obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
