- It is common for us to encounter patients suffering from dyspnoea who can occasionally obtain subjective relief when they sit near an open window or in front of a fan. In fact, a recent randomised controlled study showed the effectiveness of a handheld fan blowing air across the nose and mouth in reducing the sensation of breathlessness in patients with advanced disease [1]. It has also been reported that, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, breathing cold air reduces the sensation of dyspnoea and improves exercise performance [2]. However, the mechanism behind this effect remains unclear.
