Therapies for Dynamic Hyperinflation in COPD Richard Casaburi PhD, MD Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Torrance, California, USA
Exercise Intolerance • Often the chief complaint of the COPD patient • Linked to dynamic hyperinflation • Physiologically-based strategies to reduce hyperinflation sought • Four interventions to decrease hyperinflation with exercise have now been identified

Improvement in Exercise Tolerance with the Combination of Tiotropium and Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients with COPD R Casaburi, D Kukafka, CB Cooper, TJ Witek, S KestenChest 2005;127:809–817
Study Design • Subjects randomized to tiotropium vs. placebo once-daily (double blinded) at 17 sites • Study drug administered 5 weeks prior to, 8 weeks during, and 12 weeks following rehabilitation • Rehabilitation included three 45-min treadmill exercise sessions/week • Primary endpoint was treadmill walking (0% incline) endurance time at 80% of the maximum speed attained during an initial incremental test
Study Participants • 93 participants; 57% male • Age=67 ± 8 years • BMI=29.5 ± 5.2 kg/m2 • FEV1=0.88 ± 0.36 L (34 ± 12% predicted)

Tiotropium + Exercise Training • The group receiving tiotropium during exercise training demonstrated greater improvements in exercise tolerance and maintained these improvements after rehabilitation than those receiving placebo. • Tiotropium and exercise training have additive effects on exercise tolerance in COPD.
