Abstract
Patients with obesity and obstructive sleep apnoea have increased morbidity. Now, one study has reported limited beneficial effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with both these conditions. However, in another study, the reduction in blood pressure obtained with CPAP was not observed when nocturnal hypoxia was suppressed with supplemental oxygen.Entities:
