Studies Have Found
• For many patients with COPD, breathing
cold air causes bronchospasms and
increases breathlessness.
• In winter, there is a general increase in
the number of chest infections, often
associated with respiratory viruses –
COPD patients are particularly at risk.
• For patients with COPD, exposure to cold
air can set off an exacerbation.
• Exacerbations are the number one
reason that COPD patients are seen in
the family doctor’s office, emergency
room, and hospital ward.
• Decrease in ambient temperature is
associated with increase in cardiac
morbidity and mortality, stroke, and all
cause mortality rates.
• Cold-induced morbidity and mortality
appears due to increased blood pressure,
particularly in people with pre-existing
hypertension or heart disease.

“Last winter, I couldn’t even go to the mailbox, but this
winter, using the CT Mask, I have been able to enjoy the
long walk down the drive to get the mail. The mask is
very soft and comfortable, and the air I breathe is
noticeably warmer. This mask works wonders!”

Protects from the Risks of Breathing Cold Air!
The prevalence of COPD
continues to increase,
especially in women, and
it is expected to become
the third leading cause of
death by the year 2020
(GOLD Initiative).
The Asthma Society
of Canada advises
that people with
asthma “wear a
mask or scarf around
your mouth and nose
to help warm the air
you breathe in
through your nose.”
