چکیده
ong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is an important adjunct in the treatment of many hypoxemic patients. Appropriate prescription by the physician requires knowledge ofthe rationale for oxygen therapy, the indications for its use, and the appropriate delivery system for individual patients. Recommendations for use of LTOT should be guided by clear data, clinical judgment, and the consensus recommendations of many experts. Recent emphasis on cost containment and new data regarding the benefits of oxygen therapy have prompted a reappraisal of oxygen utilization criteria. The following case will provide an appropriate clinical framework for the discussion of the foundations for and evolution of current utilization criteria.
