Actual (reported)Postural changes are known to affect normal lung volumes. A reduction in sitting to supine functional residual capacity (FRC) is well-described in non-obese subjects adopting a supine position. However, postural changes in lung volumes in the obese require further exploration. We aimed to longitudinally address the effects of weight loss on postural changes in lung volumes and pulmonary function, in obesity. We tested the hypothesis that supine reduction in FRC would be absent in morbid obesity and recovered upon weight loss.

Consecutive morbidly obese adults (BMI over or equal to 40 kg/m2) scheduled for bariatric surgery were prospectively recruited.Subjects with respiratory and cardiac history (asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure) were excluded.
Pulmonary function and arterial blood gases were assessed both prior to and after weight loss as part of pre-operative and 12-month follow-up evaluations. Pulmonary function tests were performed both in the sitting and then in the supine position.
Registry-reported names are shown in full. Names without a link have not yet been matched to a Syfrah profile.
Twelve morbidly obese adults (BMI over or equal to 40 kg/m2) scheduled for bariatric surgery at the Montpellier university hospital were recruited. They were 3 men and 9 women.
