Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Drug therapy is not restricted. 2. Cases with interstitial lung disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 3. Cases using home oxygen therapy during exertion or with a minimum SpO2 below 90% during six-minute walk test performed in room air.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Cases with acute exacerbation or respiratory tract infection within the past four weeks, resulting in instability. 2. Cases with new pneumothorax within the past four weeks, resulting in instability. 3. Cases with unstable angina or myocardial infarction within the past four weeks. 4. Cases with chronic pneumothorax. 5. Cases with worsening of complications such as heart failure, bronchial asthma, or renal failure, resulting in instability. 6. Cases unable to perform the six-minute walk test due to dyspnea or similar reasons. 7. Cases requiring nasal oxygen flow exceeding 5 L/min during exertion. 8. Cases with peripheral circulatory disorders making SpO2 measurement difficult. 9. Other cases deemed inappropriate by the study investigator.
