Hypoxia in Flight Simulation in Obese Patients
Completed
- Conditions
- Obesity, COPD, OHS
- Registration Number
- NCT02636465
- Lead Sponsor
- Wissenschaftliches Institut Bethanien e.V
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine whether obese adults,obese (BMI\>30 kg/m2) with obesity hypoventilation or obese COPD-patients do undergo oxygen desaturation under flight simulation and if the hypoxic altitude simulation test is as effective as the hypoxic chamber test.
