The study will be a parallel group 2-arms non blinded multicentre 2-phase randomised controlled trial comparing the effect of nHFT on subjective recovery in COPD patients admitted to the hospital for a COPD exacerbation as compared to the standard care. First, we will define the optimal setting and gain more insight in insight in mechanisms why and how nHFT might work in a subpopulation, then continuing with inclusion in the randomized controlled trial including the 136 patients in total to prove efficacy in terms of patient-centered outcomes. To get more insight in mechanisms why and how nHFT might work we incorporate: a) neuromechanical investigations and analyses; and b) anatomical investigations, both in patients and in experimental models, the latter in order to minimise patient effort.
