21 Σεπ 2020 · Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) is a rare condition characterized by an alveolar hypoventilation due to a deficient autonomic central control of ventilation and a global autonomic dysfunction. Paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) mutations are found in most of the patients with CCHS.

Central hypoventilation syndrome is caused by certain receptors in the brain failing to recognize changes in carbon dioxide levels during sleep, leading to a low breathing rate and low blood concentration of oxygen. Central hypoventilation syndrome can be caused by numerous conditions.
The commonest causes of hypoventilation in adults include COPD, obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), neuromuscular disease (NMD), and chest wall deformity. Congenital Central hypoventilation disease (CCHS) is a rare disease usually manifested in neonates but it is reported to occur in adults in a milder form, it is usually associated with ...
The goal of treatment for all patients with central hypoventilation syndromes is adequate ventilation and oxygenation during both sleep and wakefulness in a way that maintains a high quality of life and maximizes the child's ability to participate in school and recreational activities . The amount of ventilatory assistance required in central ...
11 Ιουλ 2024 · Hypoventilation syndrome comprises disorders associated with alveolar hypoventilation (an elevation in PaCO₂ to levels >45 mmHg). Hypoxemia is also present in most cases, especially during sleep (PaO₂ <60 mmHg).
1 Δεκ 2008 · It is important to make an early diagnosis of central hypoventilation to prevent the deleterious effects of hypercapnia, acidosis, and hypoxemia on cardiovascular and neurocognitive function.
25 Μαΐ 2017 · In central disorders of hypoventilation, the underlying disease process is due to relative insensitivity of the brain to elevated blood levels of CO 2 or to hypoxia which then leads to an inappropriate ventilatory response.
