Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome: Physiologic Principles and Clinical Practice

Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome: From Physiologic Principles to Clinical Practice summarizes the current state of knowledge about the epidemiology, physiology, and treatment of obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). Currently the identification and management of OHS is suboptimal, especially in the acute setting and the misdiagnosis or mislabelling of the problem has a significant impact on patient outcomes. This volume brings together all aspects of assessment and management into a main resource for understanding the complex physiological and clinical consequences of this condition. Each chapter provides a one page summary that covers epidemiology, physiology, and treatment optionsProvides easy reference of obesity hypoventilation syndrome symptoms to build an understanding the complex physiological and clinical consequences of this conditionContains chapters with detailed discussions of topics including color images, graphs and tables that summarize current research INDICE: Part 1 A historical introduction Section I. Obesity Section II. A History of Obesity Hypoventilation Part 2 Definitions, epidemiology, morbidity, mortality, and quality of life Section I. Obesity: epidemiology and its effect on health Section II. OSA: epidemiology and effect on health Section III. Epidemiology of obesity hypoventilation Part 3 Pathophysiology of obesity hypoventilation syndrome Section I. The normal physiology of breathing during sleep Section II. Pathophysiology of sleep disordered breathing Section III. The pathophysiology of obesity hypoventilation Section IV. Renal compensation for chronic to respiratory acidosis Section V. Evolution of obesity hypoventilation Section VI. Derangements of inflammation, the central nervous system, and cardiovascular system in obesity hypoventilation Part 4 Clinical assessment of a patient with obesity hypoventilation Section I. Clinical manifestations obesity hypoventilation Section II. Detection of hypoventilation (arterial, venous, cutaneous, end tidal, HCO3, interpretation of acid-base) Section III. Diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing (PSG, portable) Part 5 Management of obesity hypoventilation syndrome Section I. Weight loss Section II. Review the effect of weight loss on the pathophysiology of sleep apnea and OHS Section III. Positive airway pressure therapy I: Equipment Section IV. Positive airway pressure therapy II: Setting and Outcomes Section V. Medications Section VI. Tracheostomy and airways surgery Section VII. Acute on chronic respiratory failure Section VIII.
