Helium-Hyperoxia and 6MWT Distance in COPD

Summary

We assessed the effect of altering inspired gas on the 6MWT distance in COPD. We hypothesized that HeO2 would improve walking distance and reduce shortness of breath compared to both RA and O2, and potentially improve quality of life for COPD patients.
