Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, peripheral oxygen saturation.
C08.381.495.389
Intervention(s)
The study included 42 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In the same patient, was used four colors of nail polish (base, light pink, red and brown) randomly distributed on the fingers of his right hand, as control of the hand contralateral fingers of the same patient. The oxygen saturation was measured at rest with and without enamel and during the 4th, 5th and 6th minute of exercise. Data collection was performed only once in each patient and in the period 2007 to 2009.



Primary Outcome(s)
Values of peripheral oxygen saturation above 90% measured by pulse oximetry once
at rest before and after nail polish and once during exercise.

Secondary Outcome(s)
Values of oxygen saturation expected after the use of nail polish assessed during the fourth, fifth and sixth minutes of exerciseless than 90%.
