Abstract:
Delayed recognition and management of severe obesity and obesity hypoventilation syndrome may result in life-threatening respiratory failure and multi-organ complications requiring prolonged intensive care. In metabolically unstable patients, pre-existing obesity-related malnutrition may worsen despite obesity itself and contribute to increased mortality. Early multidisciplinary intervention is essential to reduce morbidity and healthcare burden.
