Short-term and long-term effects of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation in patients with obesity-hypoventilation syndrome.

Luis Pérez de Llano, +6 more
- 01 Aug 2005 - 
TL;DR: NIPPV therapy is effective in the treatment of patients with OHS, providing a significant improvement in clinical status and gas exchange, and dyspnea decreased in all but four patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rafael Golpe, +2 more
- 01 Mar 1999 - 
TL;DR: Lemierre's syndrome or postanginal septicaemia (necrobacillosis) is caused by an acute oropharyngeal infection with secondary septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein and frequent metastatic infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity-hypoventilation syndrome: increased risk of death over sleep apnea syndrome.

Olalla Castro-Añón, +6 more
- 11 Feb 2015 - 
TL;DR: Mortality of severe OHS is high and substantially worse than that of OSAS, and should be considered a systemic disease that encompasses respiratory, metabolic and cardiovascular components that require a multimodal therapeutic approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utility of home oximetry as a screening test for patients with moderate to severe symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea.

Rafael Golpe, +3 more
- 01 Nov 1999 - 
TL;DR: The greatest value of oximetry in this setting seems to be as a tool to rapidly recognize and treat more severe OSA patients in waiting list for PSG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Juan F. Masa, +46 more
- 27 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: In stable patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome and severe obstructive sleep apnoea, non-invasive ventilation and continuous positive airway pressure have similar long-term effectiveness.
