Nasal high flow does not improve exercise tolerance in COPD patients recovering from acute exacerbation: A randomized crossover study

Background and objective: We hypothesized that by reducing respiratory work and improving gas exchange, nasal high flow (NHF) would improve exercise tolerance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) following respiratory …

Cerebral oxygen availability during exercise in COPD patients with cognitive impairment

Insufficient cerebral blood flow regulation to meet increasing metabolic demand during physical exertion could be associated with cognitive impairment. We compared cerebral oxygen availability during exercise in cognitively impaired (CI) to …

Cardiorespiratory function before and after aerobic exercise training in patients with interstitial lung disease

PURPOSE:: To characterize the cardiorespiratory response to exercise before and after aerobic exercise training in patients with interstitial lung disease. METHODS:: We performed a clinical study, examining 13 patients (New York Heart …
