“…92 These patients have marked depression of both their hypercapnic and hypoxic respiratory drives, accompanied by an abnormal and irregular pattern of breathing during sleep that persists during the waking state. 93 They have an increased respiratory rate (25%) and a decreased Vt (25%) compared with subjects with simple obesity. In contrast to subjects with simple obesity, the inspiratory muscles are weak and ventilatory drive is not increased to meet the extra WOB.…”

“…In the case of considerable weight loss, a repeated attempt at CPAP, a change from NIV to CPAP, or a rest in treatment are all possible under poly(somno)graphical control [70]. " Weight loss should be part of the long-term treatment plan.…”

“…A falta de habilidade do aparelho respiratório para eliminar gás carbônico no obeso (hipoventilação da obesidade) guarda relação com a adiposidade que reveste o tórax e o abdômen, atuando adversamente, contra o trabalho respiratório desenvolvido pelo diafragma e outros músculos da respiração 5 . Diversos estudos têm apontado que o padrão de distribuição regional da gordura tem importante papel na predisposição dos indivíduos obesos a certas complicações.…”

“…Diversos estudos têm apontado que o padrão de distribuição regional da gordura tem importante papel na predisposição dos indivíduos obesos a certas complicações. No que tange a função pulmonar na obesidade, ela é afetada essencialmente pela quantidade e distribuição centrípeta do excesso de gordura (Figura 1) com seu potencial para interferir mecanicamente no funcionamento do fole torácico 5,6,7 . Essa interferência produz disfunções respiratórias, que são reversíveis com a redução da massa corpórea 5 .…”
