1 Pathophysiology of obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS).
Pathophysiology of obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). The implicated mechanisms leading to daytime hypercapnia are, potentially, the obesity-related changes in the respiratory system, central hypoventilation, obstructive sleep apnoeas and hypoventilation during sleep, mainly during rapid eye movement (REM). PEEPi: intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure; PaO2: arterial oxygen tension; FRC: functional residual capacity; ERV: expiratory reserve volume; RV: residual volume; TLC: total lung capacity.
