Abstract
To evaluate preferences between battery powered portable oxygen concentrators (BPPOC) and portable oxygen cylinders (POC) in patients with COPD. A multi-centre randomized crossover study of BPPOC compared to POC (one month each) was undertaken across five major hospitals in South Australia. COPD outpatients who were stable on portable oxygen (max. four cylinders per month) were recruited following successful completion of a step test.
