What are the precautions for home oxygen therapy?

① Higher oxygen flow is not always better, the doctor should give advice after evaluation; The initial oxygen flow of intermittent users of oxygen therapy starts from 1 liter/minute, usually below 3 liter/minute. In particular, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other patients who need to take oxygen for a long time are generally controlled below 2 L/min or maintain oxygen saturation above 90%, because long-term inhalation of high concentration oxygen will reduce the sensitivity of the central nervous system to carbon dioxide and increase the risk of carbon dioxide retention.

② After the start of home oxygen therapy, the medical staff must regularly evaluate whether the time, frequency, oxygen flow, etc. of oxygen therapy need to be adjusted and whether the home oxygen therapy is effective through arterial blood gas analysis and other indicators. In the early stage of home oxygen therapy, if the condition and symptoms are stable, it is recommended to evaluate once every 1 to 3 months.

③ Oxygen inhalation devices should be kept away from fire sources and avoid smoking around oxygen inhalation devices.
