    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Neurology
    • Sleep Medicine

    Background:

    • Obesity is frequently associated with sleep-disordered breathing.
    • Pickwick syndrome, also known as obesity hypoventilation syndrome, presents with hypersomnolence and ventilatory disturbances.

    Observation:

    • Respiratory performance tests, electroencephalogram (EEG), and electromyogram (EMG) data were collected from two obese patients.
    • Patients exhibited significant hypersomnolence and disturbances in their breathing patterns during wakefulness and sleep.

    Findings:

    • The collected data were analyzed to characterize the respiratory and neurological dysfunction.
    • The findings support the classification of these patients within the spectrum of Pickwick syndrome.

    Implications:

    • Understanding these physiological disturbances is crucial for diagnosing and managing Pickwick syndrome.
    • Further research into the pathophysiology of obesity-related respiratory and sleep disorders is warranted.
