Abstract
This clinical case demonstrates the clinical and pathogenetic features of obesity-hypoventilation syndrome, the severity of ventilation disorders to which it can lead, the effectiveness of non-invasive ventilation as the primary method of respiratory therapy of respiratory failure in these patients, especially when it is decompensated.
Keywords: obesity-hypoventilation syndrome, respiratory failure, respiratory therapy, non-invasive ventilation.
