Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is defined as a combination of obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg·m −2), daytime hypercapnia (arterial carbon dioxide tension ≥45 mmHg) and sleep disordered breathing, after ruling out other disorders that may cause alveolar hypoventilation.
1 Νοε 2020 · CPAP is simpler to implement and is less costly than NIV. 24 To investigate which of the two treatments is more cost-effective, the only study reported is from Masa and cols, whom carried out a post hoc, within-trial, cost-effectiveness analysis using the large multicentre, open-labelled, randomised controlled study (Pickwick study) 3, 24, 43 ...
20 Αυγ 2021 · This guideline covers obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS), obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with OSAHS overlap syndrome, providing advice on investigating and managing these related conditions.
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) may be suspected when symptoms lead to pulmonary or sleep consultation in stable conditions as an outpatient or during an episode of hospitalization due to acute-on-chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.
23 Φεβ 2016 · Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is the by-product of the complex interactions among a number of pathological processes including commonly obstructive sleep apnoea, diminished ventilatory drive, and obesity-related excess metabolic production of CO 2, and structural and functional respiratory impairment.
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.
11 Ιαν 2024 · This activity describes the pathophysiology, etiology, presentation, and management of obesity hypoventilation syndrome and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in enhancing care delivery for affected patients. Objectives: Identify the etiology of obesity hypoventilation syndrome.
