However, the impact of optimising oxygenation during everyday tasks remains unexplored. Therefore, we investigated the effects of maintaining a target saturation on activities of daily living (ADL) using automated oxygen titration compared with conventional fixed oxygen flow.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In a double-blinded, randomised crossover trial, patients with COPD on LTOT performed two GlittreADL tests to assess the functional capacity of everyday activities using (1) their fixed oxygen dose and (2) an adjusted flow from 0 to 8\u2009L\/min targeting a peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) of 90\u201394%.

The patients reduced the time to perform the ADL test by median (IQR) 38 (12\u201373) s, p&lt;0.001, using automated titration compared with the fixed oxygen flow. The oxygen flow in the automated arm more than tripled to 5.4 (4.1\u20136.8) versus 1.6 (1.1\u20132.1)\u2009L\/min (fixed) during the test, p&lt;0.001, while the time spent within SpO\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      -target was increased from 19% to 49%, p=0.002.
