Popis: Objective To systematically review the effects of bilevel ventilatory support (BVS) in patients with Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS). Methods A search of databases (MEDLINE accessed by PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE and LILACS) was conducted from inception to June 2018. Randomized trials comparing BVS to other therapeutic modalities such as lifestyle counseling, continuous positive airway pressure (PAP) or BVS with average volume assured pressure support for the treatment of patients with OHS were included. The primary outcome was a change in daytime arterial carbon dioxide levels (PaCO2). Secondary outcome measures included arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), blood bicarbonate (HCO3), percentage of total sleep time (TST) with oxygen saturation Results Of 176 articles identified, seven studies were included. When BVS was compared to lifestyle counseling, the intervention was superior in improving PaCO2 (−2.90 mmHg; 95%CI −4.28 to −1.52), PaO2 (2.89 mmHg; 95%CI 0.33 to 5.46), HCO3 (−2.55 mmol/L; 95%CI −3.28 to −1.81), percentage of TST Conclusions Treatment using BVS therapy is superior to lifestyle counseling. Different PAP modalities appear to be equally effective in improving outcomes. CRD42017065326.
