Scientific title
Study objectivesTo compare whether changing oxygen flow or oxygen percentage through a fixed performance mask relieves breathlessness in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNutritional, Metabolic, Endocrine: Cystic fibrosis
InterventionCohort of stable CF Patients. Patients will perform a maximal bicycle ergometric exercise test on room air (under supervision of a specialist CF physiotherapist and doctor) to determine work rate & associated peak respiratory flow rate. VAS is assessed each minute to specifically determine degree of breathlessness. Following the exercise test VAS is assessed in recovery.

Patients are rested and randomly assigned one of three exercise tests over two days. These exercise tests use either an increasing oxygen concentration mask (flow rate remains the same). Relief of breathlessness will be determined by VAS scoring.

Added Seyember 2008: trial stopped due to lack of resources.

Primary outcome measureIncreasing oxygen flow rate is beneficial to breathless patients
