Maintenance Negative Pressure Ventilation Improves Survival in COPD Patients with Exercise Desaturation
Negative pressure ventilation (NPV), when used as an adjuvant to pulmonary rehabilitation, improves lung function, increases exercise capacity, and reduces exacerbations. The aim of this study was to determine whether maintenance NPV improves long-term clinical outcomes and reduces mortality in pati...
