Patients with exacerbations of COPD receiving controlled oxygen therapy were more likely to achieve SpO2 within the COPD-X guideline target range without being more likely to be hypoxic. The proportion of patients with SpO2 within the target range was low, suggesting that further work on processes to optimise oxygenation in this group of patients is needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
