Efficacy of Oxygen Therapy Delivered by Systems Using Oxygen-Saving Valves in COPD Patients

Association Nationale pour les Traitements A Domicile, les Innovations et la Recherche200 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of oxygen therapy delivered by systems using oxygen-saving valves or not (continuous oxygen). We aim to determine if systems using oxygen-saving valves are equally effective as continuous oxygen delivery systems in reducing exercise-induced hypoxemia in patients with COPD.
