27 paź 2016 · We found that the prescription of supplemental oxygen for patients with stable COPD and resting or exercise-induced moderate desaturation did not affect the time to death or first...
Background: Evidence-based guidelines are needed for effective delivery of home oxygen therapy to appropriate patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD). Methods: The multidisciplinary panel created six research questions using a modified Delphi approach.
7 lis 2014 · This review article examines the evidence underlying supplemental oxygen therapy during exacerbations of COPD. We first discuss the epidemiology and pathophysiology of respiratory failure in COPD during exacerbations.
1 cze 2018 · Oxygen therapy during activity and exercise has been shown to alleviate symptoms and maintain arterial oxygen saturation, but not improve long-term outcomes. Oxygen therapy in COPD has a number of physiologic, functional, and biologic effects, not all of which are completely understood.
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is a treatment option for some people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This lasting lung illness can hinder airflow and result in low oxygen levels known as hypoxemia. People who do not get enough oxygen often feel tired and short of breath.
8 lip 2022 · Oxygen therapy for patients with COPD: current evidence and the long-term oxygen treatment trial
In the 1980s, a pair of clinical trials confirmed the benefit of long-term oxygen therapy in improving survival in patients with COPD associated with severe resting hypoxemia. This review provides a summary of evidence supporting long-term and short-term oxygen therapy, as well as the various types of oxygen equipment commonly used in homes to ...
