Funded Activity Summary

In this study, we will assess neurocognitive function in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS – too slow or too shallow breathing) using a battery of tests including driving simulation, before and after 3 months of positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP). This will assess if chronically raised carbon dioxide levels contribute to impaired thinking capacity in addition to low oxygen levels.
