Nasal high flow, but not supplemental O(2), reduces peripheral vascular sympathetic activity during sleep in COPD patients

INTRODUCTION: Patients with COPD have increased respiratory loads and altered blood gases, both of which affect vascular function and sympathetic activity. Sleep, particularly rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, is known to exacerbate hypoxia and respiratory loads. Therefore, we hypothesize that nasal h...
