“…Its primary aims include the improvement of quality of life and reduction in morbidity and mortality. [ 17 63 64 ] In contrast, short-term oxygen therapy (STOT) is generally less well studied, and its applications are fairly heterogeneous. [ 65 66 67 ] More specifically, the use of STOT in COVID-19 patients is based on the primarily hypoxic pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary damage.…”

Innovative solutions are required to effectively address the unprecedented surge of demand on our healthcare systems created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Home treatment and monitoring of patients who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic can be readily implemented to ameliorate the health system burden while maintaining safety and effectiveness of care. Such endeavor requires careful triage and coordination, telemedicine and technology support, workforce and education, as well as robust infrastructure. In the understandable paucity of evidence-based, protocolized approaches toward HOT for COVID-19 patients, our group has created the current document based on the cumulative experience of members of the Joint ACAIM-WACEM COVID-19 Clinical Management Taskforce. Utilizing available evidence-based resources and extensive front-line experience, the authors have suggested a pragmatic pathway for providing safe and effective home oxygen therapy in the community setting.

Clinical applications for the use of oxygen have extended beyond the hospital setting to home therapy. In patients with hypoxemic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, long-term administration of oxygen has been substantiated as beneficial in terms of improved survival, decreased hospitalization, increased exercise capability and endurance, enhanced neuropsychologic function, and alleviation of hemodynamic abnormalities. Continuous oxygen therapy with use of an ambulatory system consistently provides the greatest benefit. New developments that have facilitated home oxygen therapy are conservation methods that allow flow of oxygen only during inspiration or storage of oxygen during expiration and cosmetic improvements for concealing devices used to administer oxygen. Controlled studies are needed to determine the optimal duration and method of administration of oxygen and the selection of appropriate candidates for long-term home oxygen therapy.

“…5 Although in Scotland LTOT can be prescribed in secondary care, in England and Wales oxygen concentrators can only be prescribed by primary care physicians. However, this prescription usually takes place on the recommendation of secondary care physicians and concentrators are supplied by a number of contractors on a regional basis.…”
