Summary of the effects of short-term oxygen compared to air in randomised trials
Outcome Studies Participants Estimate Study design During exercise Borg dyspnoea score 2 27 −0.06 (−0.24–0.13) units lower with oxygen Randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover Peak work on CPET 1 7 17 (10.60–23.40) W higher with oxygen Randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover VO2peak on CPET 1 7 Mean 1.58 L·min−1 on oxygen versus 1.32 L·min−1 on air, p<0.05 Randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover Cycle endurance time 1 16 6 (3.64–8.26) min longer with oxygen Randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover 6MWD 1 20 13 (−24–50) m further with oxygen Randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover At rest 100 mm VAS 1 10 Mean 30.2 mm on oxygen versus 48.1 mm on air, p<0.05 Randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover Data are presented as n or mean (95% CI), unless otherwise stated. CPET: cardiopulmonary exercise test; VO2peak: peak oxygen uptake; 6MWD: 6 min walk distance; VAS: visual analogue scale.
