Sponsor's own description

Oxygen therapy is a cornerstone in treating patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Usually, oxygen supplementation is delivered using constant-flow rates. Varying oxygenation levels may occur throughout patients´ changing activity. There is some evidence available that an auto-regulating oxygen flow system (FreeO2), which adjusts the oxygen flow automatically to prevent desoxygenation could be beneficial in comparison to a constant oxygen dose of 2 liter/min during walking. However, these possible benefits are unknown if the FreeO2 is compared to a constant oxygen dose according to the individual prescription. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to investigate the effects of auto-regulated oxygen flow rates compared to constant oxygen flow rates as prescribed according to international guidelines on walking capacity in patients with COPD.
