OR

Kyphoscoliosis with an FVC <65% predicted.
Minimum age
14 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Baseline transcutaneous carbon dioxide of greater than or equal to 60mmHg
Diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
FEV1:FVC ratio less than or equal to 70% (if participant able to perform forced spirometry)

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Following explanation of the trial and consent, participants will be assessed for eligibility. If eligible, participants will be randomised to the order of interventions (21% oxygen and 50% oxygen). The unblinded investigator will make available the gas bottles and bags (containing either 21% or 50% oxygen) in the randomised order. The labels on the bottles will be covered to maintain the blinding of blinded investigator (who will record outcome data) and the participant.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
By computer.
Masking / blinding
