The treatment of stable obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS)

The study will address two important questions. We anticipate that the results of this study will assist us with the clinical management of Victorian Respiratory Support Service patients with Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome. In addition, we are leading the planning of a multi-centre RCT of non-invasive ventilation treatment in Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome. Data from the current project will assist with the design of that application (for submission next year to the NHMRC) in terms of sample size estimations, feasibility and the provision of pilot data.
