Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of automated oxygen administration (FreeO2 system) alone or with high-flow oxygen on dyspnea and exercise tolerance in people with desaturatin...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • One of them
  • Moderate to severe COPD (forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \< 80% predicted and FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio \< 0.7)
  • Chronic interstitial lung disease such as usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP), non-specific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP) or hypersensitivity pneumonitis on high-resolution computed tomography
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension type 1 or 4, excluding involvement secondary to collagenosis as well as secondary to congenital heart disease, as diagnosed with mean pulmonary artery pressure \> 25 mm Hg at right heart catheterization
  • Cystic fibrosis, as diagnosed by a positive sweat test (\>60 mmol/L) or having 2 genetic mutations known to cause cystic fibrosis.
  • AND having a 6-minute walking test with significant desaturation defined as a decrease in O2 saturation greater or equal to 5% with O2 saturation at the end of the walking test \< 88%

Exclusion

  • Exacerbation of the primary lung disease in the past 8 weeks
  • Exercise limiting diseases other than the primary lung disease.
  • Not reaching the target dyspnea score during the walking tests.
  • Stage 1 pulmonary sarcoidosis
  • History of syncope on exertion
  • SpO2 with effort less than 90% despite the use of 6 L of O2 per minute
  • Cardiac condition deemed unstable or severe (e.g. severe aortic stenosis)
  • Disabling or severe rheumatological or neurological condition
  • Participation in a pulmonary rehabilitation program within the last year
  • Patients with multi-resistant bacteria
