Treatment and study plan

Oxygen conserving devices

Device

Three 6MWT test will be performed at random with conventional oxygen continuous-flow,by Oxymizer Pendant and demand valve system. The percentage of patients correcting their desaturation and patients' acceptance of every method will be determinated.

Other names: Oxygen conserving devices in COPD.

Primary outcomes

To determine the efficacy of correcting desaturation during effort and the acceptance of two different oxygen conserving devices during deambulation,one system with reservoir an another one with oxygen demand valve.
