Abstract
HFNC may improve the exercise performance in severe COPD patients with ventilatory limitation. This effect is associated to an improvement of SaO2 and perceived symptoms at iso-time. In a Pulmonary Rehabilitation program HFNC may allow a given high intensity load to be sustained for a longer time with less symptoms.
