Portable Oxygen Concentrator Signal Capture Study
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Hypoxia
- Interventions
- Device: Portable pulsed oxygen
- Registration Number
- NCT03182036
- Lead Sponsor
- ResMed
- Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to learn how patients breathe on portable oxygen concentrators (POCs), and to get feedback from patients using POCs.
- Detailed Description
This study aims to examine patient oxygenation levels and markers of exertion (e.g. breath rate, heart rate and breath pattern) while using a portable oxygen concentrator, with the aim to understand exercise desaturation in hypoxemic subjects.
