Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
COPD, as diagnosed by a doctor.
Minimum age
16 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Baseline transcutaneous carbon dioxide of greater than or equal to 60mmHg
2. FEV1:FVC ratio >0.7
3. Age under 16 years
4. A diagnosis of bronchiectasis
5. Morbid obesity (with a body mass index of greater than or equal to 40)
6. Inability to match FEV1 percentage predicted to a participant that took part in the bronchiectasis oxygen study*
7. Any other condition which, at the investigator’s discretion, is believed may present a safety risk or impact the feasibility of the study or the study results.

*This study is designed to allow for comparison of results to a study of similar design in patients with bronchiectasis (ACTRN12615000971538). Participants will therefore be matched by FEV1 to the participants in the bronchiectasis study (the COPD participant must have an FEV1 percentage predicted within an absolute value of 5% of the FEV1 percentage predicted for the bronchiectasis patient (values inclusive)). An exception to this is for the three bronchiectasis participants that had FEV1 percentage predicted values of 109% or higher, who are to be matched with COPD participants with an FEV1 percent predicted of 80% or over (i.e. participants in the mildest COPD severity category based on FEV1).

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). Allocation will be concealed using sealed opaque envelopes, opened at the time of randomisation. 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.
