COPD and Air Travel: Oxygen Equipment and Pre-flight Titration of Supplemental Oxygen
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Pre-flight test with supplemental oxygen for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if supplemental oxygen during air travel can be reliably titrated using a Hypoxia-altitude simulation test (HAST). Also, the effect of oxygen supplementation given with the various oxygen equipment allowed for air travel is studied.

Timeline
Interventions
The Hypoxia-altitude simulation test, which is established in clinical practice, is compared to the gold standard of hypobaric chamber while giving supplemental gaseous oxygen without and with oxygen conserving device, and with oxygen concentrator.
