Hypoxia in Flight Simulation in Obese Patients

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.
