Abstract

Introduction Obesity can cause hypoxemia by decreasing lung volumes to where there is closure of lung units during normal breathing. Studies describing this phenomenon are difficult to translate into clinical practice. We wanted to determine the lung volume measurements that are associated with hypoxemia in obese patients, and explore how we could use these measurements to identify them.Methods We collected pulmonary function test results and arterial blood gas data on 118 patients without obstruction on pulmonary function testing. We included only patients with normal chest imaging and cardiac testing within one year of the pulmonary function test, to exclude other causes of hypoxemia.Results We found that as BMI increases, the mean paO 2, ERV % predicted, and ERV/TLC decrease (BMI 20-30 kg/m 2: paO 2=90±8 mmHg, ERV% predicted 112±50, ERV/TLC (%) 19.7±6.5; BMI 30-40 kg/m 2: paO 2=84±10 mmHg, ERV% predicted 84±40 ERV/TLC(%) 13.6±7.6; BMI>40 kg/m 2: paO 2 78 ±12 mmHg, ERV% predicted 64±27 ERV/TLC(%) 11.4±5.8, ANOVA p<0.001). The A-a gradient increases as BMI increases (r=0.42, p<0.001). This correlation was stronger in men (r=0.54) than in women (r=0.35). The paO 2 is lower in patients with a low ERV than in those with a normal ERV (p<0.001). In a multivariate linear regression, only the ERV/TLC predicted (%), age, and BMI were associated with oxygenation (r 2 for A-a gradient =0.28, p=0.036).Conclusions In obese patients without cardiopulmonary disease, oxygen levels decrease as BMI increases. This effect is associated with the obesity-related reduction in ERV and is independent of hypoventilation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
