“…Respiratory services are responsible for the diagnosis and prescription of the amount of HOT required and for arranging appropriate follow-up for reassessment at home. 4,[12][13][14] Occupational and physical therapists would ensure that the patient is cognitively able to fully comprehend the dangers of smoking while on HOT, as well as assess which activities of daily living the patient can complete with and without supplemental oxygen. Oxygen suppliers need to be made aware of the patients smoking and oxygen use history; they are required to conduct routine checks according to their protocol (using blood gas measurements and pulse oximetry) and they need to adhere to the appropriate actions.…”
