To Determine the Efficacy of Two Liquid Oxygen Device
Conditions
Brief summary
Some oxygen conserving devices have been developed to diminish oxygen expense. These devices offer optimisation of oxygen therapy for deambulation by improving time autonomy of patients.
Interventions
Three 6MWT test will be performed at random with conventional oxygen continuous-flow,by Oxymizer Pendant and demand valve system. The percentage of patients correcting their desaturation and patients' acceptance of every method will be determinated.
