Effect of Oxygen Supplementation on Cerebral Oxygenation, Symptoms and Performance During STST in COPD Patients

Summary

It is a randomised, single-blind trial of the effect of acute oxygen supplementation on cerebral oxygenation during the 30 sec Sit-To-Stand Test (STST) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, without resting hypoxemia. After an initial clinical assessment, patients preform the 30sec STST under near-infrared spectroscopy, a non invasive technique which assesses cerebral oxygenation at the prefrontal lobe. Measurements are performed twice, under oxygen supplementation or medical air, in a random order, and the patients are be blinded to the treatment (oxygen or medical air) given.
