Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the exercise capacity (6-min walking distance) under the following 4 conditions using High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC); 1. FIO2 value that the minimum SpO2 value in a 6-minute walking test (6MWT) is 86-88%, and a flow of 10 L/min 2. FIO2 value that the minimum SpO2 value in a 6MWT is 86-88%, and a flow of 40-50 L/min 3. FIO2 value that the minimum SpO2 value in a 6MWT is 92-94%, and a flow of 10 L/min 4. FIO2 value that the minimum SpO2 value in a 6MWT is 92-94%, and a flow of 40-50 L/min

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the pervious study, the investigators demonstrated that 4 weeks of training using both high FIO2 and high flow through an HFNC significantly improved the 6MWD compared with training using a 6 L/min nasal cannula. However, it was unclear whether the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation under HFNC were due to high FIO2, high flow rate, or a synergistic effect. It is also unknown whether there are differences in the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation under HFNC for each underlying disease.

Low FIO2 and low flow rate under HFNC

In this condition, patients have undergone 6MWT under the HFNC (FIO2 value that the minimum SpO2 value in a 6MWT is 86-88%, and a flow of 10 L/min).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

High-flow nasal cannula

Intervention Type DEVICE

The nasal high flow therapy has enabled high flow oxygen to be derived through nasal cannula. This mode not only allows constant FiO2 during peak inspiratory flow but also confers benefits including a low level of continuous positive airway pressure with increased end-expiratory lung volume and reduced work of breathing, partly through intrinsic positive end-expiration pressure compensation and dead space washout. The inspired gases are warmed and humidified, improving comfort and possibly reducing airway inflammation, leading to improved drainage of respiratory secretions.
