Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome: Lessons Learned from the Pickwick Papers
Description
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is often overlooked, yet its impact on cardiopulmonary health can be life-threatening. Join the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the American Academy of Cardiovascular Sleep Medicine (AACSM) for the final webinar in this three-part collaborative series, featuring internationally recognized expert Dr. Babak Mokhlesi as he explores the latest evidence shaping the diagnosis and management of OHS. Drawing on lessons from the landmark Pickwick studies, you’ll gain practical insights into evolving OHS phenotypes, pulmonary hypertension, and patient-centered treatment strategies—helping you recognize OHS earlier, optimize PAP therapy, and improve patient outcomes across the continuum of care.
Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
 

  1. Define OHS and discuss its epidemiology​

  2. Discuss OHS phenotypes and how to make a diagnosis​

  3. Review the impact of OHS on pulmonary hypertension​

  4. Review best PAP treatment strategies in the stable ambulatory patients based on phenotype​

  5. Review evidence behind treatment of patients with OHS after a recent acute-on-chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure​
