RESUMO
Severe obesity sometimes leads to chronic respiratory failure. This condition is termed obesity-hypoventilation or Pickwickian syndrome. This article reports clinical observation illustrating effectiveness of noninvasive pressure support ventilation for the treatment of hypercapnic respiratory failure in a patient with morbid obesity. The treatment strategies for such patients are discussed.
