Influencia de las técnicas de ahorro energético sobre la saturación de oxígeno en paciente con EPOC portador de oxígeno líquido

In order to evaluate his disability, he underwent a 6 minute walking test that showed desaturation to the effort that was partially corrected when he was administered supplementary oxygen while performing it. The patient was revalued with the same test twice: one with supplementary oxygen applying energy saving techniques and other one of free walking guided by the dyspnea sensation. The analysis of the data obtained in this patient revealed that the desaturation was corrected only when energy saving techniques were used for the walking.
