Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a severe lung disease that results in persistent and progressively worsening airflow obstruction due to abnormalities in the airway and alveoli. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a critical condition characterized by obstructive apneas, hypopneas, and respiratory effort-related arousals. These events occur due to the repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep, and it is essential to address this condition. These two conditions, when co-occur, are known as overlap syndrome (OS), which is associated with a higher likelihood of morbidity and mortality compared to either condition alone. Effective management of overlap syndrome is critical to maintain normal oxygen levels during sleep and reduce the incidence of hypoxemia and hypoventilation while improving sleep quality. Positive pressure ventilation is a standard technique used to effectively lower hospitalizations, emergency room visits, moderate and severe exacerbations, and related healthcare expenses in patients diagnosed with COPD and OSA. Despite the lack of literature on overlap syndrome, it is imperative to understand that this condition requires prompt and effective management to prevent further complications. Therefore, this review provides a detailed discussion highlighting the importance of proactive measures to manage overlap syndrome.
