Study on Optimal Oxygen Concentration During Pulmonary Rehabilitation

March 25, 2023 updated by: National Hospital Organization Minami Kyoto Hospital

Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation Under Different Oxygen Concentration Using High-flow Nasal Cannula

The purpose of this study is to compare the exercise capacity between high SpO2 (Minimum SpO2 94-96%) value during pulmonary rehabilitation and low SpO2 (Minimum SpO2 84-86%) value during pulmonary rehabilitation for the patients with chronic respiratory failure receiving long-term oxygen therapy.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In patients with chronic respiratory failure, pulmonary rehabilitation is recognized as an evidence-based treatment in improving exercise capacity, muscle strength, dyspnea, and quality of life. However, optimal SpO2 value during pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic respiratory failure receiving long-term oxygen therapy is unclear.

The present study is randomized to compare the effect of exercise capacity between high SpO2 (Minimum SpO2 94-96%) value during pulmonary rehabilitation and low SpO2 (Minimum SpO2 84-86%) value during pulmonary rehabilitation for the patients with chronic respiratory failure receiving long-term oxygen therapy.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 90 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: High SpO2 group
In this group, patients have undergone 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation under the HFNC (FIO2 value that the minimum SpO2 value during pulmonary rehabilitation is 94-96%, and a flow of 10 L/min).
Other: High-flow nasal cannula
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.
Active Comparator: Low SpO2 group
In this group, patients have undergone 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation under the HFNC (FIO2 value that the minimum SpO2 value during pulmonary rehabilitation is 84-86%, and a flow of 10 L/min).
Other: Low SpO2
Low SpO2

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
