Obesity, breathing disorders, hypoventilation, positive airway pressure treatmentAbstract
Introduction:Obesity-related respiratory problems,such hypoventilation syndrome, are on the rise and have depressing property on one's health. The characteristic of hypoventilation syndrome are shallow breathing and low blood oxygen levels, which consequence in symptoms similar to fatigue, headache, and cognitive defeat.
Methods:The analysis of this situation necessitates a mixture of clinical assessment, pulmonary function testing, and arterial blood gas capacity.Treatment options comprise weight defeat, positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment, and severe cases, tracheostomy or ventilator maintain.
Results:Hypoventilation condition can enhance quality of life (QoL) and decrease the possibility of potentially fatal difficulty like heart failure and pulmonary hypertension (PH) with early diagnosis and treatment.
Conclusion:The research, we recognize the disease's diagnostic individuality and inspect the path physiology, morbidity, and mortality that are connected.The research covers the frequent treatment alternative obtainable nowadays as final point.
