Use of Continuous Negative Pressure Around the Chest Increases Exercise Performance in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients: A Pilot Study

BACKGROUND: Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often have intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure. Continuous positive airway pressure has been shown to decrease the inspiratory work of breathing and increases exercise capacity in these patients.
