Clinical practice guidelines for oxygen therapy

Clinical practice guidelines for oxygen therapy provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based recommendations on when and how to use supplemental oxygen. They specify appropriate oxygen levels for different conditions, aiming to maintain adequate blood oxygen without causing harm. The guidelines outline methods for delivering oxygen safely, monitor patient response, and adjust treatment as needed. They help ensure patients receive effective care, prevent complications from both insufficient and excessive oxygen, and promote best practices based on current scientific knowledge. Overall, these guidelines support safe, appropriate, and effective use of oxygen in treating respiratory and some other medical conditions.
