This is a registry-based, randomized, controlled clinical trial of patients with LTOT for COPD or ILD recruited using the Swedish National Registry for Respiratory Failure (Swedevox) in collaboration with a research network within the Swedish Respiratory Society. The trial evaluates the effect of added high-flow oxygen therapy nighttime to the regular low-flow oxygen therapy compared with regular low-flow oxygen therapy alone up to one year.
The purpose of this project is to improve evidence-based treatment of people with chronic respiratory failure, currently about 2000 patients annually in Sweden, who have high risk of adverse events and mortality.
