Published: December 1993

In this study, some hemorheological and coagulative parameters (blood viscosity, erythrocyte filtrability, CPA, platelet aggregation) have been evaluated in 40 patients with Chronic Respiratory Failure. The results obtained document in these patients, important hemorheologic changes. 11 patients with most serious rheologic changes have been treated with Pentossifillina. A significative improvement of the explored parameters and of the clinical condition has been checked after treatment.

Background: Nasal high flow (NHF) has been proposed to sustain high intensity exercise in people with COPD, but we have a poor understanding of its physiological effects in this clinical setting.

Research Question: What is the effect of NHF during exercise on dynamic respiratory muscle function and activation, cardiorespiratory parameters, endurance capacity, dyspnoea and leg fatigue as compared to control intervention.

Study Design And Methods: Randomized single-blind crossover trial including COPD patients.
