[Obesity hypoventilation syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: is there an association?].
Severe obesity sometimes leads to a chronic alveolar hypoventilation: obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), (Pao2<70mmHG, Paco2>45mmHG and body mass index (BMI)>30Kg/m2). The association with an OSAS is frequent. ⋯ The alveolar hypoventilation in SAS seems to be in correlation with the degree of obesity. The hypercapnie in the OHS is in relation neither with the SAOS nor with its severity. The OHSSAS association is usual but not synonym; the OHS is an autonomous disease.
