Effect of Supplemental Oxygen on Maximal Oxygen Consumption in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Maximal consumption of oxygen (VO2max) during exercise is used in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to stratify perioperative risk. However, the impact of supplemental oxygen to prevent hypoxemia during exercise on maximal oxygen consumption and other ventilatory parameters during maximal exercise in the resting normoxic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease population is poorly defined. The investigators performed a randomized controlled trial in patients with COPD who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise tests on room air and supplemental oxygen. The investigators compared maximal oxygen consumption and other ventilatory parameters in each individual subject under the two conditions.

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximal oxygen consumption

    Time frame: Outcomes are measured at time of study visit when patient reaches maximal exercise during cardiopulmonary exercise test. Measurements occur at time of test within 30 minutes of exercise. This is not a longitudinal study measuring outcomes over time.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Minute ventilation - Carbon dioxide production slope

    Time frame: Outcomes are measured at time of study visit when patient reaches maximal exercise during cardiopulmonary exercise test. Measurements occur at time of test within 30 minutes of exercise. This is not a longitudinal study measuring outcomes over time.

  2. Exercise time

    Time frame: Outcomes are measured at time of study visit when patient reaches maximal exercise during cardiopulmonary exercise test. Measurements occur at time of test within 30 minutes of exercise. This is not a longitudinal study measuring outcomes over time.

  3. Oxygen saturation

    Time frame: Outcomes are measured at time of study visit when patient reaches maximal exercise during cardiopulmonary exercise test. Measurements occur at time of test within 30 minutes of exercise. This is not a longitudinal study measuring outcomes over time.

  4. Maximum watts achieved

    Time frame: Outcomes are measured at time of study visit when patient reaches maximal exercise during cardiopulmonary exercise test. Measurements occur at time of test within 30 minutes of exercise. This is not a longitudinal study measuring outcomes over time.

  5. Maximum minute ventilation

    Time frame: Outcomes are measured at time of study visit when patient reaches maximal exercise during cardiopulmonary exercise test. Measurements occur at time of test within 30 minutes of exercise. This is not a longitudinal study measuring outcomes over time.
