Brief Summary

Introduction: Portable oxygen devices simplify and facilitate patient therapy. This study was designed to compare oxygen saturation and patient satisfaction with a portable oxygen concentrator or with a combined system consisting of a fixed device with continuous flow oxygen dispensation and a portable device with pulse dispensation for ambulation. Methods: This cross-over trial assessed 25 patients with COPD (92% men; mean age 72.2 ± 7.4 years; mean FEV 34.14 ± 12.51%) at four hospitals in Madrid. All patients had previously used the combined system, consisting of a fixed oxygenation system and a portable system for ambulation, with 16 (64%) using stationary and portable concentrators and 9 (36%) using a stationary reservoir and portable liquid oxygen bag. Oxygenation settings at rest and while walking were determined at baseline. Patients were maintained on the previous combined system for one week and then switched to the portable oxygen concentrator for one week. Mean SpO2 over 24 hours was calculated by the software in the oximeter, and compliance was monitored

Study Arms (2)

combined system

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

During the first visit, the technician installed a reservoir of liquid oxygen (Liberator 30, Caire) and a liquid Stroller oxygen pack (Caire) for patients using liquid oxygen, or a VisionAire5 (Airsep) stationary concentrator and an Inogen One G2 portable (Inogen) concentrator for patients using concentrators.

Device: Combination system of a portable and a stationary device.
