20 Αυγ 2021 · This guideline covers the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS), obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with OSAHS (COPD–OSAHS overlap syndrome) in people over 16.
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is a respiratory consequence of morbid obesity that is characterized by alveolar hypoventilation during sleep and wakefulness. The disorder involves a complex interaction between impaired respiratory mechanics, ventilatory drive and sleep-disordered breathing.
27 Απρ 2019 · The nature of sleep-disordered breathing in obesity hypoventilation syndrome varies, although the majority of patients have obstructive sleep apnoea with or without hypoventilation. 2,3 The mainstay of treatment for chronic respiratory failure has been home non-invasive ventilation.
