Summary

This study will investigate the effects on the SIMEOX technology on static hyperinflation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Detailed description

This is a crossover study assessing the short-term effects of SIMEOX and PEP device on static hyperinflation in patients with COPD. Patients will perform lung function tests (to assess the residual volume and functional residual capacity) before, after and 30 minutes after a 20-min long session of SIMEOX or PEP (depending of randomization).

Conditions

Interventions

TypeNameDescription
DEVICESIMEOXSIMEOX is a device generating a succession of gentle depression at the mouth.
DEVICEPEPA PEP device (Pari-PEP) will be used to provoke a positive expiratory pressure while exhaling, thereby stabilizing the airways during expiration.
