Article Synopsis
- Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an established treatment for COPD patients, but some experience "deventilation syndrome" (DVS), marked by acute breathlessness after stopping NIV.
- A systematic scoping review identified five relevant studies, involving 122 patients, but findings varied widely on how DVS was defined and assessed.
- Although severe airway obstruction, hyperinflation, and worse quality of life were noted in DVS patients, the studies couldn't establish clear conclusions on the causes or treatments, highlighting the need for further research with consistent definitions.
Ambulatory Long-Term Oxygen Therapy in Patients with Severe COPD: A Randomized Crossover Trial to Compare Constant-Minute-Volume and Constant-Bolus Systems.

December 2023
Background And Methods: Constant-minute-volume and constant-bolus devices serve as two different means of portable oxygen conservation. A prospective randomised crossover study was conducted in COPD GOLD IV patients to investigate the effect of these two devices on dyspnea, oxygenation and 6-minute walking test (6MWT) distance. The primary endpoint was the final operating level required (operating level range 1-5 for both devices) by either device to meet the success criteria for mobile oxygen therapy, as outlined in the British Thoracic Society guidelines (SpO ≥90% throughout 6MWT; ≥10% increase in walking distance from baseline; improvement in BORG of at least 1 point from baseline).

While physiological parameters and long-term outcome frequently serve as primary outcomes, very few studies have primarily addressed the impact of NIV initiation on sleep quality in COPD.
Methods: This single-center prospective cohort study comprised NIV-naïve patients with COPD.
