RESUMO

Our objective was assess the effect of oxygen (O2) and bronchodilator (BD) on reduce exertional breathlessness and improve exercise tolerance in patients with COPD. Nebulization of 5 mg of salbutamol plus 500 ug ipratropium bromide followed by a six-minute walking test while breathing O2 were studient in 28 patients with severe COPD, breathless on exertion and with SaO2 menor que 89%. Results: The distance increased from 356 (128)m to 377 (117)m after the BD (p menor 0,05), to 406 (109)m after O2 (p 0,001 vs placebo/air). End-exercise dyspnoea only fell significantly when O2 and BD were combined and the effect of O2 on exercise preformance was improvement with therapies combined
