Scientific titleThe effectiveness of ambulatory oxygen versus room air during pulmonary rehabilitation in patients who are hypoxaemic on exertion and respond to supplemental oxygen at baseline
Study objectivesThe aims of this prospective randomised controlled trial is to determine whether ambulatory oxygen during pulmonary rehabilitation provides additional benefit, compared with room air, for patients hypoxaemic only on exertion and who respond to supplemental oxygen at baseline. Additionally, to determine whether the degree of acute response to ambulatory oxygen predicted any additional benefit.
Ethics approval(s)Surrey Ethics Committee approved on the 7th August 2007 (ref: 07/H1109/89)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic respiratory disease
InterventionPatients randomised into two groups:
1. Ambulatory oxygen group exercise within pulmonary rehabilitation and at home using ambulatory oxygen
2. Room air group exercise within pulmonary rehabilitation and at home on room air

Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureExercise tolerance measured using the Endurance Shuttle Walk Test pre- and post-pulmonary rehabilitation
Secondary outcome measures1. Quality of life measured using the Self-Report Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire
2. Anxiety and depression measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
3. Function measured using the Surrey Information on Function Tool

All are questionnaires completed pre- and post-pulmonary rehabilitation.

Age groupNot Specified
SexNot Specified
Target number of participants52
Key inclusion criteriaPatients (aged 50 - 87 years, either sex) with chronic respiratory disease enrolled in pulmonary rehabilitation who have resting saturations greater than 92%, but desaturate by greater than 4% and to less than 90% on exertion and who then walk greater than 10% further with ambulatory oxygen during field exercise testing at baseline.
Key exclusion criteria1. Already on oxygen therapy (long-term or ambulatory)
2. Those who do not desaturate significantly on exertion
3. Those who do desaturate but do not demonstrate benefit using ambulatory oxygen at baseline
