Current Oxygen Prescribing Practices

Morton S. Skorodin¹

Abstract: Problems and ProspectsREGULATIONS and prescribing practices dealing with long-term home and ambulatory oxygen supplementation for patients with chronic lung disease are currently in a state of flux. Clearly, the move is on to limit this modality as much as possible because of its great expense.

“…The benefits of long-tcnn domiciliary oxygen therapy arc well documented [1,2]. Guidelines for indications and surveillance exist in several countries [3][4][5]. Oxygen should be given for at least 15 h•day• 1 at a Dow rate sufficient to ensure a saturation greater than 90%.…”

The oxygen concentration (O2%) produced by 12 type A concentrators, with a working time of 28-18,099 h, and 6 type B concentrators, with a working time of 0-3,033 h, was measured over a 12 month period in the user's home, at a flow rate of 2 l.min-1. One hundred and two measurements of O2% (mean 82.9), made at least once monthly by a visiting nurse, showed that type A concentrators were usually delivering less than 92% expected O2. Four concentrators were delivering less than 40% O2 after a working time of only 4,000 h. Sixty two measurements made by the manufacturer confirmed these findings (mean 86.8). The 18 measurements performed by the nurse on the type B concentrators showed expected O2% values (mean 93.1). Our study demonstrates the necessity of regular clinical and technical surveillance, at the user's home, during long-term domiciliary oxygen therapy and the need for the manufacturer to incorporate an alarm system monitoring the O2% into oxygen concentrators.
