Description

Obesity hypoventilation syndrome can be challenging to manage. Obtaining the appropriate device for each patient is often complicated by insurance requirements and endless red tape. Previous guidelines have indicated that CPAP may be as effective as bi-level PAP; however, this doesn’t apply to all patients. How can we identify patients who may require more advanced treatment modalities while also ensuring that those treatments do not cause undue financial burden for them? Here to help us understand this better is Dr. Babak Mokhlesi.
