Physiologic Effects of Nasal High Flow on Exercise Tolerance in COPD
Sponsor:

University of Miami

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

Saramaria Afanador Castiblanco

Brief Summary:

This study aims to assess whether to describe the effects of the administration of nasal high flow (NHF) at 70 liters per minute (L/min) in a 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT) among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients and to characterize the association between self-reported dyspnea with and without NHF at 70 L/min following a 6-MWT.
