Question
A child who is 140 cm tall and weighs 50 kg has been diagnosed with pediatric obesity and respiratory insufficiency syndrome. The parents are seeking effective treatment methods, particularly in the area of weight loss.
Answer
Pediatric obesity and respiratory insufficiency syndrome is a syndrome characterized by an increased demand for oxygen due to excessive fat accumulation, but the obese lungs are unable to correspondingly enhance their function, leading to symptoms of cardiorespiratory insufficiency. The best approach to treating this condition is to reduce weight. It is recommended that parents adjust the child’s diet to help achieve weight loss, thereby effectively treating this syndrome.
