Development and testing of protocol for oxygen prescribing.

What is it about?

Due to the absence of standardized protocols with well-defined properties, we are limited to compare the outcomes among those receiving long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). This study examines and describes easy protocols for a hospital test, a stimulated home test, and an actual home test, as well as their reliability and relationship to each other.

Why is it important?

Our findings showed that standardized tests for the assessment of LTOT are important. We also described simple hospital and simulated home tests that are easy to reproduce, carry out and that correlate well with each other.
