Clinical Trial 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.

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.
