ARSTRACT We have studied the effects of positi\re expiratory pressurc (PEP). continuous positive airway pressure (CPAPj and hyperventilation on 9 hypoxemic and hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. All the patients were in a stable condition and received continuous oxygen. PEP and nasal CPAP were each given for 3 days i n random order once every hour during the day and 3 times overnight. The effects of treatment were compared with a 3-day period in which the patients had no treatment for C 0 2 elimination. The effects were based on transcutaneous measurements of PO2 (Rc0,i. PCO, ( PtcC02) and SO2 (SpOz) and arterial blood gas measurements. The lrariseutaneous rneasiirements showed that the PEP treatment reduced the PtcCO,, in COPD patients by 0.S kPa and the CPAP treatment reduced it by 0. I kPa (p
