Subjects
Seventy-five patients with COPD were screened to enroll 36 patients into the study from four centers that met all study criteria. The baseline demographic and respiratory characteristics are summarized in Table 1. The diagnosis of COPD followed the American Thoracic Society definition.12 This study included both male and female patients between the ages of 40 and 75 years with a history of > 10 pack-years of smoking. The FEV1 needed to be < 65% of predicted and relative stability of symptoms
Patients’ Demographics and Lung Function on Entry Into the Study
Thirty-six subjects were enrolled into the study. The baseline demographic and respiratory characteristics of these patients are shown in Table 1. One IB-treated patient withdrew secondary to headaches during the treatment phase. In addition, one placebo-treated patient with a concomitant diagnosis of depression suffered an adverse event described as depression of moderate intensity lasting 2 days during the treatment phase. Sleep data collection for this patient was not complete. These two
Discussion
The quality of sleep in many patients with COPD is significantly compromised. As indicated by objective measures such as reduced sleep time, increased sleep stage shifts, and increased arousal frequency, patients with COPD generally sleep poorly. These patients also complain of difficulty with sleep onset and sleep maintenance.2348 Several studies detected that these patients have a significant and frequent decrease in nocturnal Sao2.2345678 According to some studies, the most marked reduction

Long-acting bronchodilators have been shown to improve FEV1 and hypoxemia during sleep in COPD but a consistent improvement in sleep quality has not been shown.90–94 Similarly, studies administering supplemental oxygen in COPD have shown mixed results in sleep quality despite improvements in oxygenation, further highlighting the inconsistent association between hypoxemia and sleep.95–98
Pulmonary overlap syndromes, with a focus on COPD and ILD
2014, Sleep Medicine ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Therapies aimed at COPD alone can improve nocturnal oxygen saturation as well as decrease symptoms. Ipratropium and tiotropium, cholinergic bronchodilators, long-acting beta-agonists, and oral steroids all have data to support improvements in oxygen saturation during sleep.67–70 Some of these agents, such as ipratropium, have also been shown to improve sleep quality and increase REM and total sleep time, although, surprisingly, tiotropium did not.67,68,70
