Oxygen may partially correct ANS dysfunction during stress in stable COPD; hypothesis-generating for supplementation in chronic hypercapnia.
Does oxygen supplementation improve autonomic nervous system dysfunction in stable COPD patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory insufficiency?
In stable COPD patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency, oxygen administration partially reverses autonomic nervous system derangements associated with hypoxaemia.
Scalvini et al. (1999) studied this question.
