The effects of obesity on lung volumes and oxygenation

Abstract Introduction Obesity can cause hypoxemia by decreasing lung volumes so that 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 w...
