NCT01906931

Brief Summary

People with interstitial lung disease (ILD) are frequently prescribed ambulatory oxygen, to increase oxygen levels in the blood during daily activities. The best way of delivering this type of oxygen has not been established. The aim of this study is to compare two devices for delivering oxygen in people with interstitial lung disease - the traditional method using portable cylinders and a newer method using a portable concentrator. The investigators hypothesise that oxygen levels during exercise will be significantly higher when using a portable cylinder, but this difference will be small.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • a confident diagnosis of ILD made according to established criteria and
  • desaturate to less than 90% during a 6-minute walk test

You may not qualify if:

  • primary diagnosis of a respiratory condition other than ILD (eg COPD)
  • currently using continuous oxygen therapy
  • oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpO2) is less than 90% on room air
  • unable to perform a 6-minute walk test or comorbidities that limit walking
