Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Following explaination of the trial and consent, participants will be assessed for eligibility. If eilgible, participants will be randomised to the order of interventions (21% oxygen and 50% oxygen). This order will be available to an investigator who is not administering treatment, assessing outcomes or analysing data. Their role is to make available the gas bottles and bags (containing either 21% or 50% oxygen) in the randomised order. The labels on the bottles will be covered to maintain blinding of other investigators and the participant.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
By computer

Summary
Brief summary
Oxygen therapy has been shown to increase carbon dioxide in the blood of patients with certain repiratory conditions. This study aims to find out if oxygen therapy increases carbon dioxide levels in patients with fibrotic lung disease and, if so, how.
